I would certainly agree with that.

Spider Moon bored me. I didn't like the setting, I didn't like the
systems, and it struck me as a particularly non-creative approach to
Spelljammer.

The only things I really got from Spider Moon was art. Some of the ship
pictures are cool. Best of all was the picture of the black female
swashbuckler. I have a group of people in my SJ who are black and have
a primarily swashbuckler approach to combat, and I have long wondered
where I was going to get a picture of a black swashbuckler. That
article solved that problem nicely.

There is a time for bingo and there is a time for funerals. Try to keep
