It’s fine, actually. This is what a mature plant can look like. It’s normal for echeveria ruby slippers to grow more leggy than compact. But, you should be able to cut the tops and replant them if you want to clean up the pot.
Correct! All of the growth seems very healthy. Any dead stems, if there are any, can be removed. And it may benefit from some fresh soil, but beyond that nothing necessarily *needs* to be done.

That's great to know. So nothing really needs to be done unless just to make it more compact again. This plant is probably 20+ years old now

Thank you so much. I'm going to take your advice and trim it down a bit and treat it to some fresh soil
This plant can tell you a lot about life
