Thanks for your answer Etruscan, and I agree with all of that but most of that can be done without a day/night cycle.
Scripted night sequences for certain areas or certain parts of the story can also achieve that without needing an "open world" day/night cycle.

This is the one exception of course. I quite enjoyed the day/night cycle in Metal Gear Solid 5 for this reason.
Still, I'm not confident that the benefits outweigh the cost. I'm not against the idea though.
