Just not sure all these series will hit the mark. Expanding to 3 would make sense with the cautious optimism around Mandalorian and its early success, but jumping right to 7/8? You want to keep Star Wars content special, and have the anticipation for content remain high. If we have more of it than we can even get around to watching in 2022, then what does that do to the brand?
I have faith in some of these projects, others like you say feel very minor stories that I'm not sure absolutely need to exist, but will just because it's "enough" that people will watch it. Disney doing big company things. Hopefully the quantity doesn't come at the cost of the quality.

Keep in mind that even though these were all announced yesterday, these shows aren't all going to appear at the same time. Some of these things won't likely see the light of day until 2023 or later. If history is any indication, some will be cancelled before they ever go into production.
The Rogue Squadron movie is the next scheduled theatrical release and it's still 3 years away.
Andor has already begun shooting and it's still more than a year away.
Most of the things they announced weren't much more than the title and the names of one or two people working on the project.
In 2021, the only new SW content that's likely to arrive will be The Bad Batch and Season 3 of Mando late in the year. 2022 will likely see Andor and the Obi-Wan series, plus Season 4 of Mando and maybe one of the new Favreau/Filoni series.
Even at peak capacity, we're not likely to get more than one new series on Disney+ every 3 months, I'd guess.
