I personally thought this episode was great. The arc, although lacking in action, shows more depth in characters so as of right now it's a pretty good filler arc. I like how it adds old filler characters as genins taking the exam so it feels like they aren't just wasted completely. If they can add one more team with Karin, Suigetsu and Guren as Orochimarus response it'll be cooler, but I guess some plot lines wouldn't make sense if they were in it.
