If it had a strip or two along the entire length, it'd be pretty easy for ships to get in, rather than needing to go all the way around to the ends, or fuck with turbo lifts. Or perhaps some might have strips and some might only have endholes, for variety.You mean the "windows"?

Assuming that the cylinder is spinning and not using another form of artificial gravity, entering through the windows would likely be really hard.

But making that many worlds in one solar system in Hazeron would likely be a bad idea. Not to mention that they would likely just be like habitable ringworld arc worlds, so it isn't that interesting to have a swarm of them.
As for an actual Dyson Sphere, what would it be used for in Hazeron? Sure it would be freaking awesome to see, but I can't think of a good purpose for it.
