A little late to the party. I was on board with defederating until I read this comment on another instance's meta community and it completely changed my mind.

tl;dr: Defederating doesn't benefit us at all and just makes more users move to Threads, or at least an instance that hasn't defederated.
I think this makes a good point about defederation being an unnecessarily dramatic step, but the poster also describes various steps instances might take to protect content and users without actually dropping the portcullis. It's difficult to welcome Meta users (desirable) without welcoming Meta's corporate interests (undesirable).
