You're right. I like the idea of simplifying the board when you're ahead. But my way will also leave you with a passed pawn on the a file and the opponent only having a queen to defend it (king is all the way across the board. I imagine getting the queen as well will be inevitable.
I'm curious to know what the right solution is though.

No need to sac the bishop 😕
He doesn't have to take on h8. He can move the king. The point of Bxe5+ is that the king has to take on h8, since moving the king loses a queen on e5. I think this is the exact position or a similar position to a famous Petrosian-Spassky game.

if .... 1) Qxf3 then 2) Bxc2 wins 2 knights for a rook
if .... 1) Kxf3 then 2)Bxc2 Qxc2 3)Nxd4+ forks the king and queen
