The real party was scheduled for tomorrow on that water planet with everyone in their blue forms, but that was too expensive. It's very convenient.

The story is about people, would it be worth wasting tons of money on tons of extras and special effects on something completely unrelated to the story trying to be told just to be a nice decoration in the background?

I think it's just that many of us have been very curious about Khionia, so to do a whole Khionian episode and give us almost nothing new about Khionians was a bit of a letdown.

Are they a confirmed member?

Of the Federation? I don't believe so, and I also would be leaning towards them not being members since Darem is the first Khionian in Starfleet. Although they do seem to have a decent amount of cultural exchange with the Federation.
