All of Joshua 23 is a chiasm surrounding God fulfilling his promise to give the land of Canaan to Israel through Joshua.

Now Joshua was old and advanced in years, and YHWH said to him, "You are old and advanced in years, and there remains yet very much land to possess. This is the land that yet remains: all the regions of the Philistines, and all those of the Geshurites..."
Joshua 13:1-2

Joshua wasn't going to live long enough to complete the conquest of Canaan. Allocating the land to the tribes of Israel was a higher priority than completing the conquest, and it had to be done before Joshua died or else there could be a civil war.

The KJV mistranslates v1 to say "Joshua was old and stricken in years". It implies that his age had affected him negatively, but the Hebrew doesn't say anything like "stricken". It says "bo b'yomim" or "entered into days".

Why did Moses take possession of so much land east of the Jordan before the 2 1/2 tribes asked for it? Maybe so there'd be no enemies at their back while they invaded Canaan and to allow some time to settle before having to worry about a counter invasion.

Moses led the army east of the Jordan because that campaign was still considered to be part of the wilderness journey and preparation phase. Joshua took over after they crossed the Jordan because he was the chosen leader for the conquest.

Joshua 12:1-6
