When inside outposts, I often see people talk among themselves about various things.
So far when I listened it was about weather, or food, etc.
It's really boring so I didn't bother to listen much.
So, is there a point listening to that chatter? Can I get a side quest from it, or a hint for some good treasure?

Short answer: No.
In FFXV this is equivalent to in past FF titles walking up to NPCs and pressing X to see what they had to say. It's usually just flavor text about the area or recent story events to make the world feel more alive. As far as treasure goes I haven't personally encountered a single case of this, however, in the story progression some NPCs give clues to where to go next.
As a side note it's possible to walk away and back to NPCs to get them to trigger a dialogue sequence, after a short while you will see they just repeat like past games.
