That's not how it works usually from what I've seen in most MMORPGs. It will usually be on par with the quality of gear that you can craft without extra stats past the highest level crafting possible. (IE: HQ versions of i50 stuff, and AF1 / Base Relic gear.)

Read the edit. if they made the gear a severe downgrade, there would be no point to it, especially with the fact that easily obtained tome gear would be better. Why put the gear in if it won't get used by most? So, no, you're wrong.

You can already be over-equipped for a lot of "Hard Mode" Stuff as it stands in FFXIV.

Doesn't matter. Equip level and item level are not the same, this much is obvious. It will follow suit compared to how it's done now. It will go up or be around the same, not go down. Making expansion content give gear lower than similar content from the base game would be a very large mistake.
