I'm okay with most of the scale, but I do agree the Grove location could've been done better. This one is particularly important because believing that it's "not easily found" is fundamental to the Goblin/Grove (in particular evil) storyline making sense. And right now I am suspending my disbelief for this.
IMO, a simple change would be enough. I.e. have the interior of the grove pushed out to be a separate area (similar to how the Underdark is in the same map, but a different area).
Instead of having it being the literal gate of the grove you stumble on, make that the "pathway" to the forest which leads to the grove.
Just needs a minor adjustment to the story - the tieflings + Wyll were camping at the edge of the forest to wait for Halsin (instead of guarding the gates - they wanted to talk to him ASAP due to Kagha). Kanon will still die, but just differently.
This alone will give the area scale, and add secrecy to the Groves location.
