Think so, without it you have a hell of a time getting out enough colonisers to get the TGFS so early, then you hit mineral crunch before you have the Robo-Maxi-Miner which screws you over more... the whole point of the race is to optimise everything so you can avoid most of the iron crunch (funnily enough germ actually crunches first, but only just, because you're using a germ-hungry engine, but still...) because otherwise you're stranded for 10 years or more while you dig your way out of an Iron crunch. That's what really cripples 3i ARs, I'm still testbedding and it looks like it might get 16k+ by 2450, quite good. But yes, without IFE you could get W cheap, which would help a lot outside of a testbed.

Update: 2680 resources in 2420, research 12-0-9-7-4-0 I think. Quite decent huh?
