No problem at all, the problem arise when that is the norm. In good writing, of high language quality, you don't have 20 words in a regular sentence.
yup, I too consider it bad writing. yoast allows up to 25% of sentences to contain 20 words.

this is a good read on the matter

I've seen blogs with 50% of sentences over 20 words and they are very ugly blogs.
