This is honestly not even that bad compared to every other sitcom like Friends, and Big Bang Theory use their laugh track and are silent for a whole minuet after a sentence.
People in sitcoms are extremely polite. They make super extra sure that they never interrupt the person they are talking to, thus leaving giant pauses in the conversation.
Aside from some weird timing in the apartment scene, this is even better than what's broadcast, the jokes hold up and (as other's have mentioned) there is genuine tension and menace in the scenes in the soup place. Also, this feels just like a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode.
Part of what makes this feel tense, is because its not just removing the laughing. Its also not having a lot of the ambient noise that would be in that environment, making the scene feel stifling.
I think what makes these far more odd is that there is so much detail noise removed as well, like Elaine hitting the metal counter, no noise from the chain machine, even just light movement noises that make up a day. I'm still glad and thankful to have these changed as it still shows, there really wasn't that weird down time. There are a couple of moments of pause but they fit with what would be thinking time or actual character reflection. Thank you for the work!

Now do Schindler’s List with its laugh track restored.
There’s actually a lot more tension without the laugh track.
This is just every socially awkward person's worst nightmare when they go into a store

Even without the laugh track, Jerry picking the soup over his girlfriend is still hilarious
I mean, Jerry pretending not to know the woman for soup is genuinely funny, laugh track or not.

It still works because Seinfeld actually has jokes, not just quips and turn-based insults.
The laughter track is how they normalise psychopathic behaviour.
Seinfeld holds up without a laugh track. It’s more tense than usual, but it’s still funny.
“forget it, let it go” still gets me, even without the laugh track
Seinfeld becomes a show about a city full of annoying psychopaths with no laugh track
This is actually quite natural compared to many sitcoms

This makes Elaine seem even crazier than she did in the original.
This definitely still works without a laugh track, I still cracked up at him shouting “3 dollars!”
I don't know why, but the intense stare the soup nazi gives his customers while they're ordering is way funnier with out the laugh track XD
“Seinfeld without laughtrack”
