I don't see much benefit (and possibly some problems related to the length of protection) with the chicken pox vaccine

Part of the issue with the chicken pox vaccine is that while there are potentially horrible results if you get chicken pox with little down-side to vaccination.

Note my comment "related to the length of protection". Chicken pox is, as you say, quite bad if you get it as an adult. If the immunization becomes less effective after 20, 30, 40 years (and I don't know that's the case), then people will become vulnerable at an age where the disease is a serious health risk rather than a childhood nuisance that confers lifelong immunity.
