The mercenary flotilla is totally skippable, I agree.

Do donate 100k to the Order of Silence, though. Otherwise you won't have enough OoS score by the time the Erosian War rolls around to get that final +2 to your Auxiliary Diversity to get the best score on it - and that will make it harder, if not potentially impossible, to get the best result on all fronts.

this is an overkill in my playthrough.
 * Arclent Acceptance [50+]: +2 Auxiliary Diversity (no effort)
 * New Givini [50+]: +1 Auxiliary Diversity (no effort)
 * [Yhilin Final On]: +1 Auxiliary Diversity (no effort)
 * Yhilin Mercenary Office Funded: +1 Auxiliary Diversity (somewhat cheap, and needed for some hunting quest)
 * Stineford's Succubus Tower Expansion Funded: +1 Auxiliary Diversity (required for return to stineford, and stineford is blocked after the war so you need to fund before the war)
 * War Monument Funded: +1 Auxiliary Diversity (required for donovan works in succession crisis section)
 * Zirantia {Support No One} [Score 12+]: +1 Auxiliary Diversity (no effort)
 * Order of Silence [Score 99-75]: +1 Auxiliary Diversity (50 starting investment (50K) + 18 clean lot score + 10 send kalant to the order = 78)

Total Auxiliary Diversity: 9 the only not free granted or required for other section element is yhilin mercenary office. and it's a cheap one (for chapter 4/5 investment), only 150 ProN. 100K OoS is simple unnecessary.
