What will I miss if I don't explore Mother Base?

Mother Base is huge, and running around a mostly-empty base just to punch my soldiers in the face and increase their morale is something I have no interest in doing. This game already wastes enough of my time with the helicopter transitions.
However, upon capturing a certain character who goes on to become a buddy, I went over to the Medical Wing to see if I could talk to that person. Because I'm bad at finding what I'm looking for, I spent a long time running around there and instead found a door that
had Paz inside, and triggered a cutscene and flashback with her.
Are there more hidden cutscenes like that? If so, where (and when) do I have to go on the base to trigger them. Manually checking out each platform every few missions just to see if something new is there is very unappealing.

Is there anything to do on Mother Base?
In the game you expand Mother Base and manage your Diamond Dogs to develop new equipment and abilities for use in the field. While you're out and about, you can call in intel, supply drops, first aid and medical treatment, so Mother Base is worth investing in.What happens if you bring Quiet back to Mother Base?

There are quite a few - As Jeeva says, there is the one with Ocelot, but there are others, like a few linked with D-Dog, and him growing up (triggered when arriving on the base after rescuing him as a puppy), also if you stay out on the field for extended periods of time, you will get dirty to the point that flies start buzzing round your head - returning to mother base will trigger a cutscene where Ocelot throws a bucket of water over you.
There's lots of small things like that, but yes, I do agree with you - Motherbase is a little empty and you won't gain a whole deal more from exploring it thoroughly.
The only other thing that springs to mind as an incentive to explore is the hidden diamonds that are scattered around that you can pick up for some extra GMP.
