Ask HN: Are Generated Passphrases Safe?

I'm currently migrating from LastPass to Bitwarden. As part of the process, I'm updating a bunch of passwords. Bitwarden's generator can create random passphrases like the following:

Are these generated passphrases suitable for use on more sensitive accounts? I'm currently using generated passwords with numbers and symbols (20+ characters) but this can be a bit of a pain when I need to input a password using my TV remote or dictate it to my partner. I don't have a great sense for what's easily crackable so it would be great to get some opinions from those more familiar with the cryptography space.
