Do you think doing the loop in Telluride is very important vs just going south from Montrose to Durango and then to Moab and back home?

Weather is weather. But early spring in Colorado can throw anything at you.
Telluride is amazing.
Since you've seen Arches, I'd be inclined to run down to Silverton, back track up through Grand Mesa and then hit
Colorado National Monument.
Although
Dead Horse Point State Park (across from Arches) is well worth the time if you haven't been there. Only one super viewpoint and some nice views back around the visitor center. You can do the whole thing in an hour and a half. And, you could still come south from I-70
You can't really go wrong. If you have to miss something to see something else, just come back and see the other stuff later.
