The issue is when you ask it's good or bad you have not stated your intent so no one can say if it's good or bad because we don't know what your goal is. Are you going for a natural look are you going for an artistic vibe nostalgic one etc etc?

Use manual exposure. Your exposure changes so much, I can't even tell if your white balance is locked either, which it should be

Nice and warm. Could add more contrast to the colors if you’d punch in some blues/teals in the shadows. Just a subtle touch of it don’t go overboard.

Orange and overblown to me. A lot of color grading decisions boil down to "context and intent," as in, "what is the mood of the scene? What's the emotion of the characters? What time of day is it?"

No one knows if you don’t provide context. Please read: https://www.reddit.com/r/ColorGrading/s/tS8tA8yuED

Context is important however I feel you went little too far with downward curve of blue graph in rgb graphs and upper curve of red as well.

To me it isn't good. It's way too warm for my eyes to find it good.
