I have mixed feelings on Talishar myself, but I think it’s a net positive for the community. It enables people without a large FAB community to play and it lets people test new things in a low-stakes environment. Stuff like that is really important to grow and sustain a game.
That said, I think the best FAB players get their reps in on paper. It’s too easy to go on autopilot and cruise through priority windows or let the PC remember your triggers for you (TUNIC COUNTER!!!) so reps in the Flesh and Blood are crucial.
