Are you sure that the result still works as intended? The while loop
sets a few variables. When you place it in a pipe, the loop runs in a
subshell, and subsequent code will not see the modified values. Unless
bash knows how to optimize away the subshell, that is.

OTOH, when you use while ...; do ...; done < <(...), the while loop is
not in a subshell.

An alternative is to use:  while ...; do ...; done <<< "$output"

BTW, you don't need to protect the end-of-line with a backslash if the
line ends with the pipe symbol.
