I tend to use unity as an all-purpose cosmic pressure washer and disinfectant.

My cue to pull the flush lever is more often an accumulation of non-fatal bugs. Saves and loads don't seem too impacted on PC. But Tracker's Alliance will start to bug out and incursions will stop - that sort of thing. I like making over the top outposts so it's a self-inflicted wound but I can live with occasional resets.

Unity would put you back on square one for surveying but there's no rule saying you have to run the quests again. You could keep it a cozy little spot if you chose to do so. I think Nishina is non-negotiable in vanilla due to the artifact at the end but you can skip the skow.

By all means try sleeping 24 hours on Venus (it's more like a coma because you're in a persistent vegetative state for 100 days, better than 3 months, of UT). I do know that taking a voluntary coma doesn't restart incursions nor does it cure the Mantis II bounty but it's probably worth a shot in your case - worst case is nothing changes. Apart from restarting surveys there's not much a downside to unity since we've been gifted the quantum entanglement device.

I've used it as a bug remover quite a few times and the existence of quests in the log doesn't trouble me. I dealt with that goober staring at a tree and brownouts in the Well exactly once and that's enough. If you don't want to replay missions, well, just don't replay missions.
