The Crystal Mirror is the real problem. Whoever/whatever made an interdimensional portal that only opens on such an impractical, unnecessarily specific time integer like that deserves to be locked up in Tartarus, especially when it's the only (known) method of travel between a magical world and a mundane world that not only boasts no magic of its own, but flat-out renders magic from outside sources inert, except under very specific circumstances.

Wouldn't thirty nights have been more reasonable? It still would have maintained the drama of being a long time for Twilight to come back to her world if she failed, and it would've seemed less cruel to leave Sunset Shimmer in the human world at the end, because she could just come back to Equestria in a month or so after she's made amends with the humans. Maybe they could still retcon "Thirty moons" as being a mistranslation/typo, and Princess Luna really meant to say "thirty nights".
