Probably a skeleton screen would be better. Show an empty version of the usual ui but with blocky placeholders as stuff loads in.

Thank you very much for introducing me to this concept! This gives me some ideas on how to organize the loading. There is definitely stuff I do in the background of the splash screen that could be done later, after a simplified version of the main window is loaded.
