The queue times are expected and aren't actually all that bad for a launch. However, the fact that you get errors when logging into the lobby server and/or kicked from your server queue is another matter.

The queue times are expected but are 100x worse than they've ever been. Saying they're not all that bad, for peak play-time, is like saying "I have a peanut allergy, so I'm gonna have a peanut butter jelly sandwich. It's not gonna be that bad..."
The errors are a byproduct of server congestion. It happens. But waiting half an hour just to log in because the servers don't have the capacity is beyond asinine. But SE already told us capacity would be at a premium since they can't get parts to build additional servers. Chalk it up to the COVID-inspired supply chain, guys. Things will continue to be this bad until a number of things happens:
1) additional servers are brought online (best outcome)
2) bots and RMTs are all killed (never gonna happen, but also ideal)
3) someone mentioned rolling logouts... might be worth considering
Ideally, SE oughtta have reconsidered launching EW without ensuring adequate server capacity, first. Unfortunately, it happened. The expansion, when available, is really good so far. Until availability is better, this will only remain as the new normal.
