The length gets twisted because people always insist that the side content is good and very worth doing, and they are correct, but there's no reason you need to do it as soon as it unlocks, it's always gonna be there. The only side content you have to engage with outside of Crystal Tower is your job quest, and...yeah, to be fair, the quality there varies. You can sure skip all the Paladin cutscenes and won't be missing anything of value.
