It's only a problem if they forget to come back to it until the story has shifted so much it doesn't make sense any more.
It has in fact been actually stated in interviews that this is how they work. Not entirely willingly mind you, they were basically forced down this road with the 1.0/ARR situation, but at the same time it's also basically the only feasible way to write a long-term story like this anyway, so they would've gotten into this sooner or later.

Fortunately for everyone involved, they happen to be quite good at it.
