All of the mechanics present in Royal Menagerie have been present in previous ARR Hard Mode primal with the exception of two mechanics that only showed up in Coil at the time of release (Ahk Morn and Death Sentence were in later content, but in terms of ARR, they were only present in Coil). They are all extremely simple to execute. Even at release during Early Access, Menagerie was not hard, and it's only going to get easier as people gradually out-gear it enough to help/carry new players or lazy players. Lakshmi Ex is an easy primal, but it does take a bit more thought than just "dodge mechanics"--as easy as the Vrill mechanic is, still requires enough awareness to execute it at the appropriate times. But saying that Lakshmi Ex is easier than Menagerie is a bit of a stretch.

Of course, both pieces of content and their difficulty are subject to being measured subjectively, and vary between individuals. But the general consensus seems to be that Menagerie is not that hard, and certainly not harder than any of the ARR primals at the time of release.
