I personally do enjoy long and open games. But Valhalla managed to go way too far even for me. It very noticeably came at the cost of quality, with many dull side quests. The map was actually too big. It needed to drop a region or two, because there was just soooo many regions.
Odyssey had the same issue. In fact, I found it worse there, because I recall I completed even less of that game.
The DLCs for all the AC games have at least been much tighter and a better example of a reasonable size.
