I figured the piece was more about development having Baroque flavor. I don't think the issues with unprepared dissonances and such is more of a personal matter espeicailly since the piece is not meant to imitate the Baroque idiom. I personally did not find anything eyebrow - raising at all. Gesualdo's music and Bach's BWV 54 is more eyeraising than anything you decided to do in this piece.
