[R] How important are the "suggested venues" in ARR?

My paper received a meta-review score of 4 (with individual scores of 3.5/3.5/3.5 from three reviewers) from ACL Rolling Review. Initially, I was aiming to submit it to EMNLP main conference, but the reviewers have suggested considering workshop venues like BlackboxNLP. Do you think it would be a long shot to get accepted in EMNLP? How seriously should we consider the suggested venues from the reviewers in this regard?
