OK, so noindexing a lot of pages isn't really directly bad for your site. However it can have an effect on how Google is crawling your site.

Google only has a set amount 'crawl budget' of time it will spend on your site, if it's busy using this crawl budget on pages that aren't going to be indexed any way, its a waste of crawl budget and may miss crawling important pages.

However if your site isn't very big you don't really need to worry about this.

Another thing to bear in mind is that if you are noindexing 80% of your site, then make sure there is still enough of the site left to index and your not left with a shallow site with thin content. Although it sound like you are covering that with content on your category pages.

Wrapping up, I'd say what you are doing is fine, but I would also try to get content written for your product pages where possible.
