from a practical standpoint, the side quests offer more than just XP. there are also rep points and nice items to be had.

since you mention trademeet... in a relatively simple series of quests you can easily acquire +3 rep points, get a great shield, and be able to buy a nice belt, cloak, and club.

if you get to chapter 6 before doing these, with the exception of windspear hills, you might find them so easy as to be an annoyance rather than a challenge. and with the ToB already installed, imoen's XP when you rescue her is substantially more proportional than before (much higher than the previous cap of 400k), so dont fret much about her being too far behind.

for myself i only leave windspear hills, twisted rune, and kangaxx as the only side quests remaining before going to spellhold, more out of wanting imoen to be involved in things instead of just heading straight for suldanessalar.
