It stops reading naturally as soon as you get composable type constructors, and people start actively using them. Even in English, once there's enough qualifiers, we move it to the right - e.g. "Tiger Woods, a famous but controversial golfer, adopted a cat".

"Famous but controversial golfer Tiger Woods adopted a cat" might be awkward, but it's hard for me to buy an argument that it's either unnatural or even particularly hard to understand.
