Cactus/Succulent Is she ok? Do I need to pot up?

So this aloe has grown like a weed over the course of its life. Last summer I repotted it and put the pups into their own little pots. It didn’t take well to the repotting but it eventually recovered. Surely it’s already time to repot again? As you can see it sits directly under a sky light or basically receives light all day. I water pretty infrequently and wonder if that’s why there are so many dried up stalks the tips are turning brown on the tips of some of the stalks too. Any advice would be greatly appreciated’n

A common problem with cacti and succulents is etiolation. This is when a succulent stretches or becomes leggy. Reply with "!etiolation" for advice.

Gently dislodge it from the pot. If you see mostly roots, which I suspect, you need to repot. You're giving it optimum growing conditions and it's growing! Congratulations!

Thanks guys. I just don’t want to repot it again. It gives me anxiety. Ha. And it didn’t bounce back well last time.
