I do not agree. Position wise yes, maybe not the best spot as 5 players left to go through.
But stacksize wise this is a great spot in fact. As soon as you get through the Big stack (who cannot call super wide due to position), you have all remaining players covered and have a huge fold equity. That close to the FT, you can expect fairly tight calls from them, and even if, mostly you are flipping. I expect them to call only PP and big Ace / Broadway hands (maybe even only {77/88++, A9++KJ}. You might even get KJ, QJ, QT,JT to fold, which is exactly what you want.
laddering up here means nothing as we are not even at the FT.
The Question is if you wanna get to the FT on life support (destined to bust 8/9th) or if you wanna get there as a contender (risking to die trying). I usually pick the latter one, which may be the reason why I have an absurd amount of 10-15th place finishes recently
PS. Did the big stack have 55? LOL
