Seth Jones is not a bad contract, no. But it's not necessarily a good contract, and (somewhat depressingly) it's probably going to be the thing that keeps Stan Bowman from getting another GM job (instead of the more obvious reasons).
That being said, the last 4x$9.5M of it will only cost the Hawks $8M/$7.5M/$7.5M/$7.5M. A lot of contracts signed in 2020/2021 were more backloaded as a concession to the lower revenues during the pandemic, and paying the majority up top is something that will make it easier for Chicago to move on from the deal if they want to.
