Watching the Old Indy bookends on YouTube - Those scenes all seem an afterthought. Taking up very little screen time of each episodes.
Maybe it would have been better to have a connection between all the Old Indy scenes. That Indy was writing his memoirs or Biography. So that way there would be some purpose to him telling these stories. In some episodes he could have been shown meeting his editor - who does not believe Indy! Then a later episode could have shown him at a book signing once it was released. Maybe even have Old Vicky show up at a book signing! That would make more sense. She read Indy's book and then decides to find him again.
