There is a way to ensure everyone does everything... and it's to not have optional dungeon content. Which appears to be what they're already doing. Honestly, I think that's for the best.
Sure but that way is decided by what is most effective use of time, and it already makes fights. This would only shift the standard away from quantity. I disagree that it would cause any more issue.

Making every piece of content the most linear thing possible as the solution sounds rather boring, in terms of what could be possible.
