What you’ve written is not grammatically valid. You can’t put a Sentence As Object in the middle of a larger sentence. The {-‘e’} always refers back to a preceding sentence, not to an encapsulated one. One is forced to have the {-‘e’} skip back to the previous sentence, not place the previous sentence into the middle of the larger sentence. Like I said, it’s ugly. pItlh charghwI’ ‘utlh (ghaH, ghaH, -Daj)

The new information doesn't add any potential complexity which wasn't there before. It just explains a bunch of sentences that we already had in canon.
Good: {tlhIngan Hol ghojlu’chu’ ‘e’ chavlu’chugh QuchchoH Hoch}
Not so good, even if it is grammatically legal: {tlhIngan Hol ghojlu’chu’ QuchchoH Hoch ‘e’ chavlu’chugh}
It might be grammatically legal, but it doesn't have the same meaning. This sentence means "one learns Klingon perfectly, if everyone becoming happy is achieved".
The sentence I think you had intended would be: {QuchchoH Hoch, tlhIngan Hol ghojlu'chu' 'e' chavlu'chugh}
