Unless you're a min-maxer, in which case:

"If you have a Simon level that is meaningfully higher than the rest of the party at the end of Ch 2, it reduces the bonus XP that is awarded to everyone at the start of Ch 3."

Meaning that focusing on training Nalili once everything else is finished (except for Aka's cure, that's reserved for the final day) is indeed the correct choice for playthroughs that have squeezed every bit of experience up to that point.
