The iksar regen is definitely nice to have but you can get by without it. It's absolutely not going to add 10-15 minutes to your downtime per hour, or anything close to that. Faction-wise, you'll find it easier to raise certain factions, even if you start out KoS. My experience with a gnome necromancer here was that after leveling up to 5 or 6 in Butcherblock killing goblins and doing some Crushbone, I was already friendly with dwarves. Meanwhile, I think you'll be able to raise dark elf, troll, ogre, evil Freeport, and Paineel faction relatively easily, even if you start out KoS with some of them. The thing about KoS faction is that there's "a little KoS" and "very KoS", and the difference is enormous. Iksars are very KoS to every city outside of Cabilis. Gnome necromancers... just a bit
