NACK on this change. I think the current version on master is perfectly fine and readable, and so there's no reason to bother with it. Neither your first suggestion nor your updated suggestion seems natural to me. I feel that "that" should not be omitted here. If your grammar checker complains about a repeated word, then that's a false positive. (And I don't think Jonas' suggestion is an improvement either.)
