Yeah :/ that does seem excessive. Delegates to the Judicial Convention in particular don't look to me to have a role that justifies expecting citizens to choose eleven of them each cycle.

I believe those, in particular, are part of the party infrastructure, and just on there because it's a Democratic Party Primary ballot.
We elect some form of party-apparatus delegates here in California too, though the Democratic Party here holds those elections separately and privately.
The only one I've ever been actively aware was happening was because I was dating someone working for a prominent state politician, and got dragged along to vote for people I'd never heard of in some park.
