Reputation is it worth it

[Ceranai]

So for my first couple of goes i tried to max my rep wherever i went but having seen no real benefits Ive decided to play as chaotic neutral, if i see something i want ill take it, my question is is there any point maxing out your rep? are there any drawbacks to being hated? Im planning an assault on the crucible knights, if i do this will it interfere with my main quest line (im on ironman so its important)

The only thing I've noticed so far is that to do Eder's side quest you need to have decent Defiance Bay rep, or maybe you will auto get it if you complete enough of the story. Maybe Hiravias will need good relations with Twin Elms, but that's a guess on my part, I haven't been there yet.

Btw ive found that killing the crucible knights is really not worth it but that the immediate reputation effects are tiny
