Even after going into the raid blind and dying a lot to the last two bosses the mettle gain easily offsets any losses upon successful completion.

That's not to say I would be opposed to a challenge log...I just don't think it's a necessity. Especially for content that's meant to last for the next six months.
Problem with after you reach max rank, proofs of mettle cost a whopping 20 million for 3 of them.

In context: That's 7 runs of The Delabria (7 hours or so) or 77 skirmishes in the rank 3 zone (at 261,000 mettle a skirmish) however long that would take you.

For 3 ranks of mettle. It has been estimated that it might take upwards of 600 million mettle to max everything out.
