A properly designed outpost does not need raid defenses, only defenses against locals. This makes it much easier and faster to build.

Yes crafting station level is a thing, so is repair station level - every item that is manufactured has two levels, not necessarily the same - the repair station level required and the manufacturing station level required. The repair station level requirement is always equal to or mostly significantly less than the manufacturing station level. An common example is troll armor, needs level 2 workbench to repair but needs level 5 workbench for manufacturing at the max level.

yes I am aware of that. What are u trying to imply here? Your outpost crafting station dont need to be max lv? Okay then where u going to make max lv equip? Again if u have portal why even have those crafting station in the first place. Just tp to main for repair and crafting. I am just saying its kinda pointless when u have portals. What function does outpost serve for u in the game when u are allowed portals? Simple answer is none. Everything u need is in main base and all it takes is the construction of a portal. Food, shelter, etc is just a portal away. It just not practical in standard setting.
