The cross cut on that last image actually is showing an unhealthy internal structure. The brown in the center is very suspect. With the reactions post cut, Iβd guess maybe there is some stem rot in there. It may fester and get worse, or it may stabilize (sometimes theyβre extremely resilient).
Is it soft? If so, you may need to remove the stem to prevent spread. If itβs firm, then maybe just leave it and keep an eye on it.

You cut it wrong. With jades you cut mid segment and then it dies back to the previous node and falls off.

How much have you been watering it? you should not be watering much if at all while you are waiting for leaves to come back

it looks totally normal to me. they do this and retract to the nearest node which then dries and falls off. it could make the upper branches a bit more unstable
example pic of what it looks like after healing over and drying further

Oh wow that was radical… I did similar with my etoliated kalanchoe (UV gave out in my lights over the winter I think π) but I left a few long low ones with leaves. Good luck to both of us, because I’ve never pruned this much before either π
