I also got 2 elemental secrets.
And yes, I used a conventional rival hindering method during my expedition so I can confirm it exists.
Speaking about satisfaction, I was not that excited by the lore actually, not much is said I think.

I did The Gallery of Serpents once and I did meet the gentleman but decided not to accept his help. I made it to the end with my rival's progress at 9.
I wonder what will change if you do accept his help; will your set reward at the end just be lower or is there more to it? Does anyone know?
My random reward at the end was two skulls so now I'm considering grinding for another set of five...

For each act of assistance, you [spoiler]Receive one less Uncanny Incunabulum.[/spoiler]

And there's nothing else to it? I had hoped that helping him would at least have given you some morsel of new information or something like that.

I tried it once not accepting help, and once accepting help twice. Got double skulls the first time and Tears of the Bazaar (nice!) the second time. Has anyone accepted the gentleman's help three times? Did anything interesting happen?

Nothing particularly exciting happens, it's roughly the same as giving him one or two questions.

I'm looking for the gallery of serpents and I met the ophidian gentleman. From what I understood, he does not have any other effect than helping with the rival (plus eventually giving supplies) and a smaller reward at the end, so no effect ouside the gallery, is that correct?

Has anyone raised their "Counting the Days" to 15 or higher with this option?

If so, did you discover any new options on the "Secrets and Spending" card or anywhere else?
14 is usually the highest limit of CtD, but the Nadir option pushes it beyond 14... How high do you have to go to find a fortune of particular interest? Maybe even something the Numismatrix has mentioned?
I've raised Counting the Days to 18 so far (see my profile), using this option from the Nadir, visiting the Repentant Forger, and looking at the mind-rending graffiti. For some reason, all three of these options work at CtD 14+. So far, there's been no effect; no new options on the Secrets and Spending card.
Folks, does this seem like a bug, or something with a hidden potential (like grinding Stormy-Eyed up to 15)?

I doubt it will do anything but I applaud your inquisitiveness.
