Imo, as long as you organize your writing elegantly, it doesn't matter how long the final product is.

As a reader, I really appreciate the table of contents.

Maybe what your friends meant was that your piece was too long without a table of contents, from which they could jump to a place for reference, or skip it because they were already familiar with the material.

I probably should add a TOC. I don't largely because it's setup to flow and I don't really want people to skip to a specific section.
