My view is similar. Ukraine should focus on areas that it plans to recover and hold - emphasis on the hold.

Raids into Russia, unless directly for the purpose of destroying military hardware, are not worth the risks.

Tough enough for Ukraine to recover land to the east or to the south . . . and probably not able to recover both east and south - including the holding.

I believe that was the point that there were tactical as well as operational purposes to the “incursions”. As a recall a valuable EW vehicle was captured as well as several other pieces destroyed.
What it also did was force Russians to redistribute forces, something they can I’ll afford to do
IMO you will see several of these in Russia and Ukraine to forcenrussians to reallocate forces, moving forces not only weaken other parts of the line but moving forces are more susceptible to interdiction
