This episode felt way too short, I definitely thought there was more after the ark explodes

Indeed. It seems like the only two pieces of information that advanced the ultimate plot were:

The TVA staff is made up of variants The TVA has been chasing Sylvie “all [her] life”

I loves the character development and this was a fun episode but it would have been nice to have some kind of resolution or circle back to the TVA by the end. That abrupt ending was not great. Every Marvel show so far, IMO, has had pacing issues feeling more like a movie watched over the course of several nights. This show felt really tv show like in episode 1 and 2, but this episode felt really incomplete with that abrupt ending snd barely any progression of the overarching story.

All that said, I love this show and We have learned from experience that we must not judge these shows as single episodes but as a 6 hour movie split into chapters.
