Yeah, I can see situations where Drain-2 isn't a big disadvantage. Low MR troops, for instance. The penalty to research might or might not be a problem; I'm playing C'tis with Magic-3

I have never played C'tis personally, but those that have mostly say its not suited by a bless strategy. This usually but not always means its a magic nation, so I would not have drain but probably magic 1 or 3.

Marverni for example, having drain with this nation would be madness as you need magic and plenty of it to survive. So magic-3 is a must for the extra research.

However, Neifelheim drain-2 suits very well, as the sacred giants only weakness is magic, so anything that counters that is a plus. Also you personally need very little magic yourself, construction being the only really crucial path needing research. Antimagic spell is highly useful as well.
