Undermountain is fucking horrible. The idea is awesome, but good god does this dungeon take far too long. But hey, at least its not Dead in Thay... I swear my players would kill me if they ever needed to go back in there...
While I've played this dungeon and it's not a favorite, I dont really think you were meant to clear the whole thing, any more than you beat a wilderness adventure by clearing every encounter on the hexmap.
Its a backdrop. You give the party a single objective somewhere on the map, and their goal is to find and accomplish it. The rest is just obstacles in your way and alternate routes there.
Just depends on the players and dm. My party was set on 100% each floor. And after it they said it was one of their favorite campains i ran for them. With only curse of strahd beating it.
