On Balmung I have yet to seen any shout that asks for a specific gear level, it's mostly no requirement or "with gear check" and nothing else.
Then again I don't spend that much time in Revenant's Toll, but the times I've been there I haven't seen it.
I hope it stays like that to be honest, people need to realize that most content in FFXIV is hard only when people don't know or can't handle the fight, not because their gear is bad. A combination of both is of course much worse.
