Yeah, the exposition about what Nora's Semblance is was painful. The exposition about the brother gods wasn't so painful for me, since as far as I'm concerned, it makes sense in-universe. Qrow is someone who's more in-the-know about the antagonists than RNJR, so he needed to reveal and explain some things to RNJR. Since we were in the same boat as RNJR, we got treated to the explanation too. If we had already known that, the scene would've skipped to after the explanation, like it did with Qrow's explanation of the Maidens. Oh yeah, Ozpin's group giving exposition about the Maidens to Pyrrha also made sense in-universe, so I didn't mind that either.

The exposition about Aura given to Jaune in Volume 1 also ended up making sense in-universe, as he legitimately didn't know how exactly Aura worked, since he didn't have the same education that the others had.

Pyrrha dropping the term "Semblance" on us in Forever Fall Part 2 was pretty smooth, but... we haven't had Semblance, as a concept, explained to us...

Winter revealing how the Schnees get their particular summons through coaching Weiss was pretty smooth.

As long as it makes sense in-universe, I'm fine with it, for the most part. Hell, they could have Qrow helping Jaune get better at swordfighting and then find out Jaune still hasn't found his Semblance, so he gives Jaune some advice by explaining some stuff about Semblances so he can better understand what he's trying to discover within himself. Maybe even have Jaune ask how people typically find their Semblances, in frustration with the fact that he has actively tried and failed. Qrow gives him an answer, Jaune gets kind of upset that some people find theirs purely by accident, and Qrow tells him not to be discouraged and explains something about the nature of Semblances.
