I seem to have unconsciously shifted my writing target length to super-longform, but short of books. So novella/monograph length (I'd put it at 10k-30k)

Yes, it requires more planning. About 8k words is the longest you can just wing it.

Readership for the sake of readership is the ideology of the clickbait artist :D
But fwiw, in my experience readership is not a monotonically decreasing function of length. More like that overlaid with random spikes at sweet-spot length ranges, like a frequency response
