Hi,

While repairing the fascia board, I noticed that behind the board was hollow. Should I fill in that space with some insulation? The bottom of the fascia board does have a soffit vent, would adding insulation far in cause any issues with ventilation?

Meh...those things are a mess usually. Not quite insulated and not quite sealed. Can't hurt as this point as the assembly isn't being vented.

I agree, I also found several inactive wasp nests in there. I guess some insects can sneak in through small openings or through the soffit vents?

What was wrong with the fascia board?

If there is ridge ventilation I would only insulate the attic side of conditioned space, not the soffit.
