That being said, I think there's also a few assumptions going on with the typical 11 minute formatted shows in that, since the only 11 minute format shows out there are like 95% comedy-centric you're assuming all others in the 11 minute format are going to be comedy-centric as well.

Also, coming from the perspective of someone just now entering animation, making 11 minute shows is WAY EASIER on crew than having to stretch stuff across the halfhour, and it also allows for things to be produced for fans quicker (for example, THREE STEVEN BOMBS which were a huge success and a delight for all their fans!) so it means we get a bunch of episodes real fast and likely won't have a lot of the scheduling problems CN forced Omniverse into in its last burnout run.

What CN seems to be doing here isn't dumbing their stuff down, they're attempting uniformity across the board. Their goals, as far as I can tell, are to have similarly formatted shows with similar feels to them, but with individual ideas and concepts expressed in each one exclusively.

So yeah, TLDR; MoA is in charge so worry not, not all 11 minute format shows are 100% comedy or bad because of it, and the reboot being in the 11 minute format is an attempt to have constistancy in CN's shows so you know what to expect and so you can get more content. My main problem with 11 minutes is that it won't be enough time for the action that will happen. Not every idea is going to squeeze into 11 minutes just like not every idea stretches into 22.
