I really don't see any problem with it. Asian cities like Singapore and Hong Kong are full of skyscraper complexes with lots of crazy elevation changes, walkways, and terraces, and you don't really see those cities suffering for it. They keep building more, in fact.

While I wouldn't suggest such an urban design for most neighborhoods in Chicago, this area, because of its residential nature, tremendous height, and quirky site can be allowed such a design.
