Not the worst, but not ideal
The front is good, the u-lock should go through the frame and rear wheel instead of just the wheel. For the seat-post I’d just swap the quick release seat post collar with a non-quick release version and call it a day.
No ideally you would want the U lock to actual go tough one of the 2 available frame triangles. highlighted here in red

Not that you asked but the busier the area, the less likely the bike is to be stolen, to a point. It’s harder to stop and cut a lock when there’s pedestrians versus hidden in an alley
Don’t use the ulock as a padlock. Ideally you’d want the lock to also pass through the rear frame triangle.
But I think it’s mostly fine. It’s a quality lock on a comparatively cheap bike.
