I have been doing some reading around the wiki and just want someone more knowledgeable on the matter to double-check this for me (assume the rest of the run is optmized and selecting the "good" decisions):

You miss 5 RP with Yarra during The Gathering but you can still get her to 100 before the battle of Yhilin without sacrificing anything so it doesnt really matter.

This part I dont understand very well, but since its really hard to get Qum's RP to 90 before Yarra's path if you whored her (would require both giving 5 extra points to her instead of Aka AND investing on the Cache Excavation pre-reunion), does this mean you have to either not get enough Approval points, therefore forfeiting 2 extra days during Simon's path, or fail to spy on one of the rival IKs? (is that even possible or the game forces you to spy on every single IK?) Is missing 2 days during Simon's path that big of a deal anyway? My understanding is that usually you have several extra days that get used to train Nalili for extra exp, would that extra exp make any difference for a level check later on? Also I heard something about the ammount of exp you gain between chapter 2 and 3 depends on Simon's level, would missing those 2 days play into that?

You miss on 2 acceptance points for sending Carina instead of Qum, but you can earn that back with well placed investments made possible with the extra 15k at the start (maxed Janine [?] and Megail before their rewards at the end of the battle of Yhilin).

You cant get a perfect score in the "Forging Ties" quest, since you need to send Carina instead of Qum to heal the head of the house, but all you're really losing is a sexual pin, which is just an inferior succubus pin so I dont really care about it.

You miss on 2 RP with Ginasta, but right now we cant know how crucial the points with Ginasta will be.

So the only REAL consequences to whoring qum at the moment are missing something during Yarra's Path (and possibly 2 arguably meaningless days in Simon's path) and 2 points with Ginasta, which we still dont know how relevant they will be.

There's always the possibility that there will still be more (and perphaps un-reparable) penalties for whoring qum, but if I didnt miss anything or made any mistakes, it seems that at the moment the obvious best decision is to whore Qum, is that right?
