Exploring Mira is all well and good, but giving the player a to-do list of utterly boring chores to get their Skell license doesn't facilitate that, it just adds unnecessary tedious filler. It's impossible for me to get invested in the survivors and their affinity quests when not a single one has an ounce of charisma.

There is rarely ever an instant when there isn't something else to do along the way, even of the most tedious of tasks.

Most of the time though the tasks will simply have you going through areas you've already explored, so all you'll likely encounter along the way is more dull busywork like the same generic enemies you've killed a bazillion times already.
