Is the "High Church" Trend in Episcopal Churches hurting attracting new members

One of the things I struggle with in attending Episcopal Churches is this seemingly hard core march to up the pageantry of the service and reintroduce more and more idiosyncratic actions.

Having been raised Roman Catholic and attending Catholic/parochial schools (except 3 years of public HS by choice) and a Catholic college that all required religious education -- I surprising enjoy a pretty high standard amount of pomp. I like the creeds, I like an apostolic church, I like the psalms, I like the gospel, I like the Lords Prayer, I like the retelling of the last supper and I think communion is required for me to feel I attended a true worship service.

But all the make a sign of the cross here, bow here, etc. (to an excessive level) which ranges from church to church and while it may be tradition -- I wonder how long and how recently these things have been re-added.  I also wonder how much of a user experience barrier these are -- i.e. someone visiting feeling very out of step.  Unless you have a full order of worship with inserted text and a diagram every time it can definitely feel overwhelming.

What is comes down to -- is that I think I am a low church person bordering on high church methodist but not really into the anyone saved today stuff.  But am definitely concerned that the Episcopal church seek to find a balance and see if all this additional stuff is really helpful or hurtful to integrating attendees -- especially those outside the Catholic/Anglican/Episcopalian tradition.
