The softness you're talking about I also like, but less so the sharp contours within the transition zone. I like the picture because it is weird, but I would not like it as a portrait.
Now, here is a gallery with samples of the 14-30: https://sojujo.smugmug.com/Testshots/Nikkor-14-304-S/n-HxmSQJ
First the corrected and uncorrected interior shots, then a comparison with Sigma Art 14-24.
I guess I'm not rubbing shoulders with the upper echelon lenses .... having the 85mm F1.8D ( I find Optrex helps ) ..... so I have less demanding criteria.
.... and once you corrected the distortions on the Samyang 14mm F2.8 it doubles as a medium tele-photo ....
but you get used to it
