Impressive result and much better than my miserable performance.
As I say, this matter is subjective. Some will want the challenge of a clever AI 'sandbox'. Others will want a historical 'feel'. They might believe that the Soviets were able to evade pockets in 1941 or they might not. Some players might feel that having to focus so hard on creating AI pockets is an a-historical approach.
My personal view (just an opinion) is that the Germans were amazed by the huge numbers of prisoners they pocketed in 1941, and they were completely unprepared to handle them. Creating pockets was less challenging for the Germans than sealing them and collecting the prisoners. Personally, I would prefer to be struggling with supply and with those Soviet units that decide to stand and fight, rather than having to concentrate on figuring out how to prevent routed units from "flying" away into the distance.
The simple solution would be a couple of toggles in the Options screen for "Turn AI Evasion of Pockets ON/OFF in 1941", and a setting for "Keep routed units with n hexes of their starting hex".
