When they came up with our current expert (kotl, WPH and AKH), it was was tuned for ilvl90 at the point of game where we can get ilvl 120 from tomestones. There was already a discrepancy of 30 ilvls as soon as it was released.

    Agreed. The mention that the open world enemies will be more dangerous in HW makes me hopeful that the dungeons will be tuned for closer to available gear levels, too.

    Yea, I saw. It might be fun. Not sure if that's for dungeons though.
    He mentioned doing the first Coil in like ilvl 70. So the only example has been a raid so far, but it might be for all content.

    Like I said, just a little.
    And the relic type argument might be valid, though I'd argue that if the relic wasn't such an RNG grind then it wouldn't be so bad.
    At the very least, they could take it into account when considering how many runs such a quest would require.
    So I think that's more of an issue for such quests to work around than the general dungeon designs.

    I don't think too much sync is a good thing but all are synced to 110 at max, even the launch dungeons.

    I agree, they haven't really allowed new released dungeons not keep up with gear.
    Hopefully, they find a better balance with regards to tuning overall (for dungeons).
