I don't know, to be honest. The present-day narration is pretty fast and it could have been stalled with more episodes. On the other hand, a few things really feel rushed, so it might have worked all the same in 22 episodes time. Sure, we would have needed more backstories than they could provide us with.

Frozen came half-unexpected, and that clearly affected the writing. But I don't know if it would have been worst to have half a season of filler before developing this storyline into full S5, or rushing it a bit like they did. Perhaps they should have condensed the Frozen arc to one quarter of season and leave the other three to this plot.
