Here's something I've heard a lot, but never officially:
Does Hatred status have any effect on Friendly or Colony takeovers? I've heard, variously, that if you've declared hatred you can't use them, that if someone has declared hatred against you that you can't use them, or both.
I've heard that it lowers sympathy in your realm to the target hated realm. Since CTOs work like FTOs, using sympathy, this would indeed make it impossible for the hated realm to do in your lands after some time/instantly if this is indeed the case.
