Because all of the Qum scenes in Yarra's path take away from her mood, and doing all 4 would require me to sacrifice some secret stat gain in the previous chapters to get Qum to 100 affection. Just going in with her at the 90 RP I'm advising for instance, still only allows her to do 2 scenes and requires that you "sleep" to get her willing for the 3rd. You might be able to miss something for the 4th, though. I'm still testing it out. Having Yarra at 100 affection too only gets you a very minor improvement to the Empress's impression of you, though and is required for Simon to get 2 extra days added to his path's max, but doing it my way will still get you 1 extra day and make a lot of the other checks to do things faster in that path possible.

I'm more than likely going to advise people to make saves at certain points so they can explore content, but still have one "optimized" save for each chapter in case they need to go back if the game changes later on.
