Is there any point of fighting every gauntlet runner?

[Lemiru]

Outside of loot and exp, does it matter for anything if I skip one? Asking because right now I would have to use up 2 more days just so I would have been able to fight one.

The only one that matters is the pink gauntlet runner that makes you fight Catherina.

You also need to fight Jin at his runner lategame for Neuras' rank 8

AFAIK if you want to unlock an achievement, you need to fight some gauntlet runners.

You can skip Goddard i believe but the rest give rewards or social link progress

Catherina and Jin are the only ones that need to be fought for Bond Progress (and in Jin's case its part of the quest you get after completing Neuras' Rank 7 Bond event)
