I think it's definitely worth seeing how far you can make it as a HCIM, trying to climb the leaderboards is quite fun and having that fear when bossing (even easy stuff like safe-spotting Rex) is quite a thrill.
Since you only need 100k to be converted to an Ironman if you die, I just grinded that out when I first made this account.
However, I don't know what I will do when I really want to get into dangerous bossing. I don't know if I will just play normally until I lose my HC status, if I will grind out top 100 HCIM in a specific skill (I've considered RC and Invention for that) on the leaderboards first, or if I will just have someone kill me in the Wilderness so that I can just go into late game content without worrying. We will see!
