Yoshida did also say that even he wouldn't want to do the first step of the Anima, two conflicting statements. The relic is quite easy now, so it's worth doing even for just the glamour imho.

I'm quite sure the context of his statement is doing a 2.0 relic so late right now is simply not worth doing to skip a step and you'd waste more time this way than if you were to just do the 3.0 relic from scratch.
