I think the films length was a big factor. They needed to establish the island, the farm, the previous characters in the present as well as new ones and both breaking the in then out heists in only 1 hour and 30 minutes. The fact they were able to pull it off somewhat to begin with is commendable, but as you say something like an extra 30 minutes or more would have gone a really long way in terms of pacing and character development. I think they were focused on streaming which is why the film was so short relatively, but at the same time if they were going for the streaming audience having an episodic plot structure would make more sense (and be more forgiving).
