As I learn more about Diva and similar programs I'm learning about their fx, particular with plugs in like Repro where you can modulate the effects and do all sorts of wacky stuff.
Is it good practice though to add fx on a program like diva as an aspect of the sound or patch, rather than add them in later? Isn't there a risk of fx clashing and muddying? I mean who doesn't like adding Drench to every single Repro patch?

it's good practice to do whatever sounds good. 
this should be your only concern.
certain synths have effects that are up there quality wise with some vstfx.
others, less so, and are more or less included to give the presets some oomph.

There is that risk no matter where you add effects. I think the main benefits of internal effects on a VST (excluding filters and oscillator effects) are convenience and for making presets. People do complain about VST synths that come with presets all drenched in reverb.

If you're not selling soundsets of course you do what you want.
But I do try to make patches that sound decent without effects, and if the effects are good I'll use them (yes - Drench
) More to give me ideas when I hear it, but sometimes it's an integral part of the patch
That's what I like about U-he synths - one-button effects off.
