Question about Expedition Unlocks (anyone who has loaded previous expeditions)

Hey, recently got back into the game and now have completed expeditions 11 and 21. I'm curious if it's worth it to go through custom loading of previous expeditions to play unlock their rewards, or just modify a save file for unlocks.

Or, what expeditions are absolutely worth playing, and what ones were meh? I heard 7 is iffy with the loader due to a "rogue like" aspect? The loader claims it works though.

Anyway, thanks in advance Travellers!
