It does sound like I might be overthinking it though which is why I'm bouncing it off you guys. Sincerely, thank you all.
2 things: the framing butchering is awful and needs some metal strapping to repair. Not sure if that's a bearing vertical member to the upper right. Anyone who did that on a job of mine would not be allowed on site again, ever. If this is inspected, if I was an inspector — fail.

The duct may be fine if you do the calcs. First the sq in of the round and then the sq in for the oval. If they match, it's pretty close that the flow won't be restricted enough to "burn up the motor." It seems like a short run to the boot from the oval, right?

The bigger crime is that the oval connection isn't centered over the PVC vent. Who in the hell is working there? Jezus in a handbasket!
