This seems an interesting approach, if sufficiently safe for most cases. What if, when creating an account and choosing a password, the app enforced very long passwords but suggested a default, random one like in your example? This would have most of the benefits of the suggestion in the article (high entropy) while still not removing the choice of the user to pick their own preferred password.

Does your company also use 2FA? I'd be curious to see if very long passwords are secure enough to not need the 2FA anymore, as most methods are annoying to the user.

Yes, 2/3FA with a hardware key and push for login and access to anything security critical, and 2FA via push for everything else.
