Just curious...why 8 sets of bench and 3 sets of squats? I would tend to reverse that. You are doing 3 sets for your lower body and 14 sets for your upper body.

I think everyone's recovery time varies. As I get older, my body needs a little more time to recover. That or I have had success with reducing the volume. If you have found a sweet spot where you are still making gains and seem to feel strong, go with it!
