Would this sound off to a native German speaker? I know that if someone said this in English it would sound very cryptic and odd compared to the "you are better and stronger". When I think of "you are better, stronger", I think of a scientist making some kind of creature, or maybe "the six-million dollar man". It also sounds more poetic.

Wow. 'The Six Million Dollar Man' - classic 70s TV. It had one of the best opening credits of all time. But I did have a schoolboy crush on Jamie Summers from the spin off series 'The Bionic Woman'.
Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world's first bionic man. Steve Austin will be that man. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster

Same reason for why it is used in English. When you use subsequent adjectives or when you list many things, you use a comma after each one. Typically, you see a conjunction such as "and" or "or," especially in a list with three or more things in it, but there are exceptions.
Creative choice in writing. Either can be used. We typically see an "and" or an "or" without any commas if there are only two in the list, but it can be done without them and instead with a comma. It really depends on the nuances that the writer wants to have.
Does this mean "You are better and stronger", or "You are better off stronger"?
