Pacing is tough in an open world game, but I personally will try to make it as realistic as possible.
Now let's forget about main quest. Like you said it's just a side quest, you can go finish it after finishing main quest. And still it doesn't make any sense for Geralt to actually go trough it. I'ts just too far away and it takes too much time. His reward for that quest would have to be sublime. However in main game there are some quest like this (exp: you had to go with a guy to get one clam from Novigrad to Skelige) and personally I hated them.
