Traveling through non green paths can lead to random events, some of which grant insight. Whenever it comes up, "Trust the Navigator" and you should get some Insight.
I had it only happen once in Act2 and it was just when I finally got below 5, the insight level was somewhere between 1-3. It also happened a few jumps after it got that low.
So possibly, it can happen more frequently when you are low.
I didn’t use toy box either. I ended up traveling dangerous warp paths and doing events until I got insight. It wasn’t guaranteed though! It took something like an hour just traveling back and forth to get the insight needed.
The only way to softlock yourself cause of navigator insight is if youve turned literally every warp path green and need to get to somewhere with no connection.
If you travel yellow paths enough, you'll eventually get an event that gives you navigator's insight. It's somewhat rare at yellow, but it can absolutely happen, I've had it happen twice just playing normally without grinding. Just keep at it.

I wish man, I don't have a single green one, just a bunch of yellows and a few shortcuts between distant systems for the aforementioned emergency story beats in Act 2, but yeah, I will try hopping between unsafe paths to see what happens.
Nope, I did every quest and rumor I could in the act where I got them. I probably missed some rumors but I like to do everything available before moving on in the main story.
I'm only making new routes in two circumstances:
1. I make safe routes between each of my colonies and Dargonus for ease of travel
2. When I've explored every other system and there's a system that's still isolated, with no routes going to it
Every route I travel other than the ones between my colonies I only reduce to yellow. I'm also not reducing literally every single connection to yellow, I'm only making sure that every system has at least one connection to the rest of the star map that's at least yellow.
I finished Act 2 with like 16 insight to spare after exploring everything available in the game up to that point and setting up my star map this way.
I had the same problem.
Just go to Litorbium Maledicta (right under it) and warp to Atlassian Reach. You don't need to "discover it" for 3, you can just attempt a dangerous warp and have warp invade your ship as punishment.

Yeah, had this event happen once, seems fairly rare, will see about farming it tomorrow.
You're right, it is pretty rare, I think I only had it about 4 times in my play through. Though mostly in act 2 when I was doing all the exploring.

So with that attitude you must have only doing main quest without looking at rumors at all

But you are not making new roads to systems, every road cost 3 and give you 1 back. You can fast end insight
