Heck, if you're chasing FATEs with a semi-active party or even playing solo on tank, you can get full-credit on FATE bosses that die in under half a minute as opposed to potentially spending upwards of 5 minutes on one DT FATE, pending the zone's active players.
You could make an argument that the verdigris demiatma is the most egregious, (I have an FC mate with a story on this one; spending their day-off in Kozamauka with no drops at all), but unless you've already maxed-out your shared FATEs in all zones and can buy the mount vouchers, increasing your reputation in just that one zone is more or less useless, even for crafting mats, as Cosmic Exploitation is a thing now.
I mean, you do you for whichever of the two methods you prefer, but even as someone who completed the DT shared FATEs, I'm so over them that I couldn't imagine going back there and wasting a whole day on one entire zone again.
