That's looks good to me. You really just need to make sure the leave aren't in the water.

This is a better look at the water level

Ive seen that if most of the stem is exposed and just above the node is in water then the roots can grow faster and thicker. To save time and energy on constantly refilling or water changes, I fill the vessel where the node is completely submerged and then some a little. Maybe I overdo it but it works for me. One of the roots on this peace lily cutting kept growing up instead of down so I had to keep a closer eye on the water level. Finally got it potted over a week ago and so far it’s doing well. Even saw a little new growth peaking out yesterday.😁😁
