Too much editing? What do you think of these sunset photos?

Hello!

I don't normally edit my photos that much - tiny adjustments to the shadows and highlights, a little vibrance, saturation, and clarity, and some slight HSL adjustments is all I do. With these sunsets though, I went full crazy and used almost everything available in photoshop; even the tricky Dehaze tool! The result is this.

Now the question is, is this too much editing? Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
 
... although they would be better with the horizon leveled...
I am glad you pointed that out. I actually thought I did that, I guess I failed. Somehow I am always finding it very difficult to get a level horizon and the fact that my MA never seems to be level with the horizon doesn't make it easier. In the photos you mention, I used the strip of land that looks like a peninsula as the reference point for leveling the horizon. I am guessing I am going about this the wrong way. So here is another question. How exactly do I get the horizon leveled in post?
 
Its a beautiful insanity, but you loose a lot of depth to the picture when you the melt the colors like this.
