This is also a weird case, because the problem with age difference is maturity, which is not measurable as of now. A 30 years old dating a 50 years old is weird, but less than a 20 years old dating a 40 years old, and yet all of these also can vary based on individuals. And most people wouldn’t see a problem with a 70 years old going with a 90 years old. That’s why it’s struggle to make well-defined laws about it.
For incest, once again, the problems are the norm, and then maybe you can find some exceptions. But why push it to be fine and allowed, when it doesn’t bring anything, again? It’s just opening for more issues to come, with no real benefit because incest is, in most cases rather than not, a problem.
And how do you prevent problems of offsprings, or of dominant position? Do you have to sterilize by force people in such relationships, after having them investigated to check that the relationship is actually consensual? Who would need to have sex with their relative so much that they would want to go through all this? That’s why I’m saying that it just feels like a lot of trouble and problems, for nothing good.

This is a fair enough point, though still the only issue I can really see is the offspring thing. Would you feel better if it was a gay relationship? Say two sisters who were raised apart and then reconnected. I can literally see no issue with this besides the ick factor
Most of the other problems I mentioned are about being raised or growing together. So in your example, it probably would be mostly fine.
My main point is, what does it bring to try to make exceptions when the only exceptions that are not bad are very, very unlikely, and do not bring anything more than any other relationship would?
In your case, sure, the two sisters could get together, fine. But if they got together while knowing they are from the same family, it does raise a weird point, and if they did not know then fine. But how many offspring-free relationships between two people that didn’t know they were related, exist? How many of those last? I cannot imagine such a big proportion, so what is the point of making an exception, that on the other hand will bring in a lot of problems and creepy behaviours trying to fit in it.
