Terrific!
The only remaining obstacle is, I've found, that you have to motivate the other players (second clarinet and 2 bassoons) to share your insight...
That's not always trivial, because it's often not natural for them.
I've noticed similar situations in other Mozart passages. For example, we recently did 'Voi che sapete' as an encore on an OAE tour with Magdalena Kozena. When we'd played the first 8 bars, I said to the young bassoon player, playing with us for the first time: "You know, you're the first bassoonist I've ever played with who DOESN'T crescendo through the first bar on their rising phrase. Everyone else, I have to ask not to do it, so that I have freedom to shape the tune."
"Yes," he said. "I hear it played like that a lot."
Perhaps the younger generation can give us hope.
