I am in the camp of “always rush AE2” However most expert/kappa/hard pack version gate AE2 behind really painful walls so it isn’t always as early game as it seems. IIRC Infinity evolved you had to go all the way through IC2 nuclear reactors before you could make your first AE2 core. Fun packs but certainly slows things down a lot and forces you to explore other options for sure. The bigger problem is it’s just technically janky, in every way. The Reactor Core’s got some bad management details hence why everyone ends up using CC/OpenComputers, but the part where it can blow up your neighbor sucks. One of my biggest mistakes was trying to find a questing ram manually.

It relies on something else to transfer items into the injectors one by one. You’ll need a crafting station for the setup too. It needs to be in range of the processor, but does not need to be connected in any way. Pixelmon Reforged modded server update to version 8.3.8 is complete!

One piping items from the Fusion Crafting Core into another unused chest. One piping items from another chest into the Fusion Crafting Core. To start it, just send a redstone signal to the core.

If you want to make this a necessity rather than just a fun extension to vanilla Minecraft, use it alongside Hunger Overhaul and The Spice of Life, which both punish your poor eating habits.
