when they fucking lost the ambergris like it was nothing I got legitimately upset.

I don't mind it so much struggling to get by as a premise, but when they dangle little spots of hope like that it's actively unpleasant. They need to give it the weight it deserves, losing the ambergris should feel like a sad, tragic moment, not something funny or wholesome.

Tbf, there wasn't a reasonable chance of selling the ambergris, it most likely would have just caused legal trouble. Even if The Nose hadn't robbed Louise, the idea that he (or anyone else they knew) was competent enough to move it and get them the money is kind of ridiculous.

1. that doesn't address the emotional issue
2. even holding it for 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, until the right moment arrived would make sense. Even selling it for a fraction of its worth would make sense. Even then just being sad about it instead of being "lol alls well that ends well, guess we were just too greedy" no, it didn't end well, they are still struggling financially. They weren't being greedy, humans need money to live.

I guess we arrived at the crux of my issue with this story, using a family that is struggling to get by for a moral about how greed is bad, and you should be grateful for what you have, is spiteful.
