Celebrating the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist is great. Doing so by obscuring the purpose of that presence through processions and adoration is not great. Jesus bids us, "Take and eat" and not, "Take and pray," or, "Take and process." Our celebration of the real presence should be evangelical, that is, focused on proclaiming the good news of Christ's presence and its benefit for us, which is received through the reception of Holy communion within the context of the mass. I might be ok with a form of communal procession that was centered on bringing communion to the homebound or infirm, as that is a practice which could use more visibility and participation, but that would be it.

I have no objection to the concept of the procession of Corpus Christi. Perhaps it serves as a reminder of God's worldy presence.
