it's a style carryover from the Mando show, which had S1 montages about forging armor, reprogramming the assassin droid, etc.
taking the time to world build is totally appropriate when you've got the runtime to do it in a multi-episode show. the gaffi stick crafting one might have been a little over the top cause I assume originally those things were meant to be just random junk scraps cobbled together like a prison shiv, but they turned it into forging a Hattori Hanzo samurai blade. it symbolized his full acceptance into the tribe though so it's fine.
