The game is just fucking boring. it probably wouldn't hurt to ignore shit, but that's all the game is. Tediously checking on bullshit every waking moment.
Basically, you can skip the monastery stuff; all you're really missing out on is some free weapons, stat boosters that an casual player won't need, and you could get locked out of buying the ore that you need for repairing your weapons.
Proficiency does have some use, as you need certain skill ranks to recruit students from other classes, and some of those skills simply cannot be learned without tutoring. And believe me, most of the characters that require tutored skills are worth their weight.
That's what I said the first time I played it lol. I just wanted to navigate the game mechanics, not do all this extra filler shit. I'm a bit more forgiving on it now because I warmed up to a couple of characters (... for their USEFULNESS on the battlefield, of course) but those problems cannot be ignored.
I usually don't recruit from the other houses unless I'm going for an specific side chapter. I know who's good at what. But most of the characters in an given house are useful enough that it'll be kind of hard to decide what to replace them with between some of the faculty and the other students. And even on Hard, I still wind up steamrolling the enemy because there's hardly an lot things to look forward to. Sure, stuff like Knightkeeler or increasing the range of your black magic is useful; but stuff like Desperation or Wrath managed to be overkill or I never really get an chance to actually use them.
I'm of the opposite opinion: I always recruit because I can't bring myself to kill most of the cast, and I find that a lot of them are some of the strongest units in the game (no mage can match the sheer destructive power of Lysithea, Linhardt's spell list is exceptionally useful, Leonie is a better archer than most of the designated archers, and Ferdinand is Ferdinand). Helps that many of my preferred ships are cross-class and that Azure Moon is my favorite route.
Yeah, that's fair. After all, I don't recall anyone viciously hating Flayn.
The only thing that I have against the class tree is that an lot of the rewards don't become interesting until the midgame and only the midgame for most of the mages; considering the bonuses that you get from being an Holy Knight. Sure, it's also convenient that you won't be permanently crippled with the death of your only archer or your third-best skirmisher, as the older games frequently did.
I kind of miss some of the meme builds, tbh. What 3H does is workable to the point where anyone with an solid speed and defense can easily become an front-liner, who can also be converted into an mage (because why not?). But it's usually to the point where nearly everyone performs the same as opposed to juggle between trading reliable, somewhat weak hits with a lot of people and dealing with rolling the dice with your class-locked crit machine.

Kind of depends on how good you are with math.
Fire Emblem Warriors is the biggest monkey's paw I've experienced in a video game since well...Fire Emblem x SMT. It's a shame too because in theory, the game would make a fucking fantastic Musou, with plenty of characters from each title to choose from. But like the first one, we'll likely only be locked to Three Houses characters with maybe some other title representation in the form of DLCs.
