If skipping story wasn't detrimental to the "real FFXIV experience" there wouldn't be an purchasable option for it now, would it?
I think the main reason for the scenario skip tomes are more for existing players who "complained" about having to go through all the content when they made alts - as far as I am aware they released the scenario skips before world visiting was possible so people were more inclined to have alts on different worlds on the same data centre.
