As far as caring about your starting City-State... maybe it's because I have alts from everywhere that are at the end of the current MSQ, but I never much notice or care when they do reference my starter city. My main character started in Limsa Lominsa, so has Y'shtola as my first Scion, and I can't recall her ever really making a nod towards that fact. But maybe I'm just blind.
The only reference to our starting city-state that I can think of is right at the start of ShB. Cutscene #3 of The Syrcus Trench, Lyna asks where you're from and your options are "<City State>", "The Source", and "...". Aaaand that's it, nothing else comes to mind.

Also seriously, unlock GC Glamour. I'm capped out in all three GCs, let me wear whatever I want. And upgrade the Ranks in Endwalker, I dream of the day I can become a Storm Champion.
