Is constant flowering bad?

Is constant flowering bad?

I believe the one I have is a sedeveria? I have limited shelf space so I cannot do much to adjust so this one gets less light than my echeveria, and it seems to enjoy it maybe a little too much. I plan to adjust the lighting arrangement when I move out, as I'll have more shelves and general space, but as is removing any lights puts this one back to not flowering and the echeveria to losing how compact and happy its growth is.

It isn't reabsorbing leaves to do this, it just. Keeps growing flowers. Constantly. It's been doing this for almost 6 months now (started mid-december), it's easily entered double digits of flower stalks that have fully flowered and dried out.

Not getting thirsty faster (still on a schedule of once every 2 weeks or so), and was even producing more flower stalks when it didn't have any roots after I chopped the top off during a mealybug incident (which I haven't encountered since, so. yay.) Growth rate is the same as before the flowering started, roots regrew a little slowly but I made sure to repot it only when it had a good amount started, etc. It seems like it's just happy and healthy, and as there's been no weird effects I feel it's fine, but I wanted to check.
