To an extent that is true. However, some things really feel pointless to do, as the time cost of doing them, doesn't make the trip valuable enough for the food/water lost doing it. Like visiting the Lost Rover more than once. I think post-content visiting the Lost Rover makes sense, as the artifact placed on the generator, would mean that you generate power from fuel cells at such an accelerated rate that having extra power supply, would be useful.
But outside of this, there isn't much value in current content.
I expect that some places that feel pointless now, will feel less so, when more major locations come available. Like Strabo looks like a huge distance (based on red line) from Talos, so revisiting Talos for a resupply point and needing extra cells for extra power storage, might make sense to visit it then.
