From what I understand, an eximus spawns whenever you use reactant, thus delaying the fissure would also delay the eximus. Bear in mind all fissure-spawned enemies can drop traces, it's just they're more common with eximus. So while extended fissures can yield more traces per relic, they may not yield more traces per hour.

If you run out of time, the mission fails entirely, which means you lose anything you collected. Understandably, this is a point of much contention with the community.
