Xsyon has the issue that solo players can kill anything in the game and as you said relatively quickly in skill, the challenge is not really there, nor is there a real "grind" to get there. Whereas in Wurm Online, some monsters/animals requires a group, and in some cases a group of extremely advanced toons (like killing a dragon).
I would also say there is almost no "survival" aspect to Xsyon. Food? Don't need it to survive in fact, it has almost no effect (extremely minor effect on energy). Water? Nope, don't need it same as food only less effect, so much not even sure there is an effect. Housing? Nope, don't need it, no need to rest, does nothing. Clothing? Nope don't need it, sure it helps for combat but people run around naked in Xsyon without any issue (I normally travel naked to reduce the weight so I can run/travel faster).
Most animals/mutants in Xsyon are non aggressive and easy to out run, extremely easy. Also death has no punishment over than sending you no, so if you did happen to die, you lose nothing. (You even keep all your items!)
All in all, I fully disagree with your 3rd point.
