Had a similar thing happen with me and the NCR.
I killed all the NCR that raid the prison, and got vilified status early on.
I was visited by the Ranger-ette and her pal and tried to kill them but they ran away too fast. Next time I swore I'd be prepared and when she showed up to tell me I had 2 days to live I killed them both.
After that I was visited by the dynamic duo again, who were somehow still alive despite me wearing her armor and hat! They told me I had one day to live, I told them they were already dead and exploded them by punching them with my Spiked Love and Hate Knuckles, FOTNS style.
After that, days and days have passed but no rangers paid me any more visits, and all NCR are still friendly. I'm not always friendly to them, but it's nice to know I can still work for them to make money even as I'm laying waste to their patrols and bases. After I do all quests for an area I usually wipe it out.
ALSO, I've only seen Caesar's legion assassins once, when I tried to free the Powder Ganger captives on a different character, the Assassins showed up immediately after I wiped out the camp. Every other playthrough I've either not attacked the Legion or rather wait until after dealing with Benny before I "declare war".
Also, I wonder: do faction hit squads stop appearing after you deal with benny and get amnesty from them? As in, if I attack them after getting amnesty they don't send anyone? There seems to be a lot of bugs associated with the hit squads.
