I wanted a long exposure to blur the clouds.
Gotcha @ using ISO & aperture to achieve longer exposure. I'm not so sure that the "blur" of the clouds in this one is really conveying the vibe that you might have been going for ... they just kinda look soft, like the whole image does, so without the delta / variance between the clouds vs. static, the motion / blur of the clouds doesn't really come across to the viewer well, imo. I think it is probably a swing (dig the try ) and a miss for me on this one because of the detracting factors.
Sometimes we have to weigh the pro's / con's of our strategy against our outcomes. Maybe a different strategy could have been for time lapse / multiple images to get the differing placement of the clouds (retaining a higher IQ for the static areas) and subsequent composting PP for the motion.
As a former "purist", I certainly understand the try for a long shutter duration too. Maybe using a polarizer / ND filter instead of f22 could have been plausible. But, even with that I'd likely still have shot a bracket set for the static aspects for optimal IQ over f22. I mean, if you are stable enough to shoot 25 sec, then bracketing / stacking is no hill for a climber either.
Also, I think the heavy CA is an attribute of long duration rim lighting that a shorter shutter could have greatly mitigated.
