Buying my first long sleeve jersey. I know it is supposed to be thight and short in the front, but it just barely covers my bib shorts in the front. Is that fit fine nevertheless?
The fit seems great overall. Keep in mind that standing upright the front will be pulled up higher than in a riding position on the bike. If the back is a little lower than what the front is in that pic, I’d say it’s acceptable, but ultimately only you can make that call. If you like things to be a little longer, then nobody will tell you otherwise.
Being 6’3″ and similar build to you, I often am in similar situation, where some Italian brands like Castelli or Sportful fit me great in L, but I wish they were just a bit longer.

It’s perfect
No. It fits.
