While this may seem like a more dangerous way of doing things, there are a few wrinkles to the planet rushes that are greatly beneficial to the Confederacy. Firstly, systems which do yet possess space travel are classified as "frontier planets", and as such, are eligible to have their resources surveyed and claimed by corporations, individuals, or governments. The great potential of wealth available during the planet rushes essentially offers the UGC free scouts. Secondly, since Confederate technicians are monitoring every gate during the planet rush, they are capable at severing the connection at the first sign of hostility, forcing any aggressor race to undergo multi-year journeys through the void of space in order to make war. In this time, the UGC's greatest generals have plenty of time to prepare for war and even take the war to the enemy preemptively if needed.
