The regen effiency when leveling helps offset the 20% xp penalty by a good amount. In terms of general quality of life - it's priceless in ways that efficiency while leveling alone can't easily quantify. If shit hits the fan and I'm low on life and need to FD in a dangerous spot, I'll be regening 12 a tick after clicking off lich vs the 4 I'd have as a non-iksar. At 60 that's 14 vs 5 while fd. That's the difference of nearly 2 z-hearts (and people pay 150-250k for this one lore item).
The most important factor when choosing race for any class is how much you like the look. Unless you hate iksar graphic and like another to the point that you're willing to more than half your natural - iksar is unfortunately the way to go.
