Their orientation is therefore well described by…
Does this use of therefore in the middle of the sentence, reduce fluidity or sound not suitable for a written text?
Should I use commas instead?
I am very wary when dealing with such adverbs, because in Italian (my mother tongue) I would insert them almost anywhere in a sentence, without altering the correctness nor the weirdness.

Out of all my years writing, i have never considered this before. "therefore" is usually a word that could be placed in the middle of sentence, but only if included with either a comma or the word "and" in front of it.
here's two examples.
the pen contained a large amount of ink, therefore it lasted for a long time.
the musician got injured and therefore couldn't perform for the concert.
it doesn't interrupt the sentence flow much as long as you use it correctly.
Now that I did more research, I found out that your usage is actually correct, it's just a style of wording I have little to no familiarity to.
