Depends what you consider "gimped" but the difference between picking Iksar or Human is one of the biggest in the game in terms of selecting a race. Personally I wouldn't want to waste time on something completely inferior.
The AC bonus for Iksar results in taking 7-8% less damage and the regen really does make a big difference. When in feign death, a common thing for a Monk to be able to move around or pull, it's 9 more HP per tick at Level 60. If the Iksar race didn't exist and there was a very rare item that gave +9 regen and stacked with everything, it would be one of the costliest items in the game. You can't deny that.
I really think you're being unhelpful trying to say "the bonuses aren't worth the exp penalty". Again, even if you had infinite bandages while leveling, the AC bonus + standing regen bonus is still going to result in being able to kill more...therefore making the exp penalty mostly irrelevant.
