For anyone doing this in the future it is possible to get through Portsmouth on a lot of segregated paths which avoid the horrible roundabouts and frantic drivers.
This route picks up on your route in 2 places, not sure which way round you went but this works both ways. It utilises some underpasses and back routes.
Into & out of IoW ferryAlso I can do some work for anyone wanting to do this by modifying the route through Sussex to avoid the A29 and some of the other nasties along the way.

Ah that's good to know!
I felt like I was potentially missing out on some good infrastructure somewhere, as we crossed over a few segregated paths on our way through.
Would love to ride to a ferry departure at some point that doesn't involve a half an hour of 30kph stem chewing to not miss it as well.

It's basically quiet lanes for the most part. We did the first section overnight so didn't see a single car but there's no major roads, even if you're doing in daylight.
Portsmouth is the worst for traffic -there's no avoiding it, but there's a few fast roads and mega roundabouts.
Probably didn't help that we arrived in morning rush hour and left during school run traffic.
