All of which is probably taking up far too much of Michelle's journal space pondering the arc of my own career. :-)
Errr, no <g>. It's all useful information; it's all grist for the information mill. And it's really nice to have the counterbalance of a view that isn't built partly on really long books <wry g>.
I've read a lot of YA stuff in the last few years, mostly for F&SF, but it's not a market I understand as well; the firebird books sell in our regular section, as opposed to the YA section, because a lot of them are reprints of earlier works (the de Lint books, the Dean books, the first Wein, etc. Sherwood's Wren stuff is better in the YA, because that's what the books were first published as in paperback (hc too, yes, but). The same applies to the over-sized Tor paperbacks, name of which line escapes me at the moment.

So ponder to your heart's content.
