New ST, Seeking Advice on a Time Skip

First, sorry if I've flaired this incorrectly, mods. We're playing in V5 but this is not necessarily a discussion about V5.

I'll jump right into it: I'm starting a new Camarilla focused chronicle with players who are mostly new to the World of Darkness. Most have played some version or another of Vampires, but never set in the canon and always combat/numbers focused (an old school D&D player with some younger more modern gamers). I plan to set our chronicle in 1942 Manhattan. Prince Michaelis has just authorized a number of embraces to combat the encroaching Sabat (one possible origin for the players).

The idea is for them to be new Kindred in a time of strife for both their sect and the mortals. They would start out with some simple errands and a short mystery, and move into the larger mystery which would see them travelling to a war torn Europe to acquire an artifact/mcguffin. Of course the artifact is not what they were told and they'll have choices to make. This will establish their characters and get the players used to the game.

What I'm concerned about is this: I want to do a time skip post-mystery. Either they solve it messy and end up in a forced torpor for 84 years, or they do everything just right and they have to go into hiding for 84 years. Either way, the real bulk of the chronicle has them dealing with being out of their time, and while older than they started, they have little experience. They'll have to adapt and establish themselves in the new world of the modern nights. This is where the sandbox really opens up to them.

Does this sound interesting? Does this feel like too much player agency is removed? They'll know going in to expect a time skip, but no details of course. Is this mechanically sound? I'm entirely new to VTM so is there any reason this would be clunky/broken or just plain not work?

Thank you for any help!

TLDR: I want to do an 80 year time skip post-tutorial and am worried I'll break things or that it will suck (pun intended).
