Great image!

The blur is probably justified to simulate the photographic
effect at this scale and distance. On the other hand it can be
considered an unnecessary image defect ;) will be interesting to
see if expectations change with future light field cameras that
can achieve full focus anywhere. Anyway I think it would be
nice to see a render w/o blur for comparison.

For such a scene (not many reflections) focal blur could probably be
faked as post-processing based on depth image with little loss.
