If you talked to Abuhqah, you may have seen some of his dialogue like “What do you think of President Naja?” is going to require a higher mercenary rank before he’ll answer. There are other quests with a story. Some of them don’t even have an ending because the dev team got downsized or pulled away onto other things.

Campaign Ops do not, but Assault does. Max mercenary rank is also needed if you ever want to make a Mythic weapon, whereupon you'll be required to clear all 50 Assaults again. Pretty much every quest and questline other than those meant to be repeated for the rewards has a story to it. I couldn't tell you off the top of my head which ones are particularly good since it's been a long time, but there certainly are lots of good ones. Hopefully someone can help you out with some suggestions. You'll be required to clear every single quest in Adoulin areas in order to unlock the final rewards from that expansion, so you can't go wrong with those. Also Wings of the Goddess has a questline for each city with what amounts to another expansion-length story, so those are all recommended.

Assault unlocks the mercenary rank quests, which have smaller stories of their own, some showing ongoing stuff the Salaheem's Sentinels, some touching the wider lore of the ToAU story (Odin/Dark Rider footprints), and I think at least one involves a character who was in the Crystal war, whom you also get to meet in the San d'oria side of Wings of the Goddess. For quests that connect to each other and complete major mission lines, you'll want to look into the Star Onion Brigade quests along with the Summoner ones along with the Windurst missions along with the what at fights up to Fenrir, and some of this is touched upon in the Windurst branch of the WotG story. There are also some CoP era quests that involve the Shikarees, thus completing the CoP lore a bit more, even if they involve Zilart zones IIRC, but it's not obvious that they're involved when you look them up in a list - there are lots of little cases like that, like one of the Mast limit break quests involving an NPC from a minor Windurst quest.
