There's nothing wrong with your choice. Besides E2, hard difficulty is really more about the challenge factor than rewards. Like the special medal for clearing E5 on hard isn't really amazing utility-wise, but its essentially an exclusive trophy for those who overcame the hardest challenge in the event.

I'm doing E5 on hard right now because I want that trophy, but I don't expect a lot of people to do the same. And there's certainly nothing wrong with that, different flavours for different people!

On that note I'm quite happy the devs gave us the option to choose than force us with a certain difficulty. The completionists get their challenge, while those with lower bullshit tolerance can still get their ships and clear everything without as much trouble.
