As you said its a whole other play-style and same as high level Arc early on or a Traz in EMA - it does not suit most of the player base. For me personally, to list through recurring quests each day would become boring fast. Plus you need to seriously tweak city layout to do quest efficiently so yeah, good luck with that.This playstyle requires dedication, however, and who doesn't do this, won't benefit as seriously.
For a player that go through quest list once every era CF is a pointless building. If it would boost event rewards (currency) then yes, 100% worth building.
