Episode would have been intersting if the "mediocre" blue picard life had not been entirely filled with condescension and disrespect from the framiliar characters. More of a tension where you see the benefits to him, like he didn't have to sacrifice his interest in archaeology or spends half the year riding horses or whatever. And contributions to the lives of others. Maybe he would have a less demonstrative bravery.
It would have also worked much better with Q's common refrain that Picard isn't special. Showing that all his other lives would have had equal value, and he just happens in this one to be The Captain.
It's pretty much the same principle as how every major character gets to be a captain of their own ship, "everyone wants to be a manager, and if they don't become one they're underperforming".
