Some genetic diversity is necessary to not have your population wiped out in a pandemic. However, you don’t have to have many competing factions of different faiths, cultures and races. It is actually detrimental to society to intentionally create such Balkanization.
Harvard scientist Robert Putnam found that diversity hurts civic life, reduces social trust, pushes tribalism / grouping when the minorities are large enough to form their own enclaves. You get less volunteering, fewer civic organization members like Rotary Club, less willingness to donate to charity. This was so contrary to his liberal beliefs that diversity was always good that he literally sat on the findings for a decade. Reference: The downside of diversity
Another issue is that people prefer to live with their chosen tribe, whether ideological or biological. This is why immigrants tend to form enclaves even in the modern era, and why balkanization is a logical outcome once any minority becomes a majority in any area.
The oldest of political realities is that people are most tolerant of those who differ from themselves when they live among those who do not differ, and when they do not fear having alien ways pressed upon them. This recognition is what enabled history's great ecumenical empires to survive in peace.
