Ultimate Coils should Never be rebalanced

We could always go back to FF11's days and make an Absolute Virtue clone... and let it not be beaten for years. My point is, it might suck, but what else can you do to make it difficult? Besides, they already said the fight was unfair. You've been warned.. they aren't forcing anyone to mess with ultimate.

Absolute Virtue is the way that FF14 seems to be going with Ultimate Coil. It's pretty much a one hit kill battle that's probably 20+ minutes long.

Soft enrages are the way to go. FF14 has done it before though they kind of ruin it with a lot of mechanics having instant kill anyways. Basically, the goal is to ramp up the boss's damage over time, whether it be from failed player mechanics or a enemy's attack pattern. Things like randomizing boss attacks can make it far more difficult because it isn't just about memorizing a dance. They have done it before and it has provided a challenge for many.

Ultimate Coil isn't intended to be a "challenge for many", it's designed to be a challenge for the most hardcore part of the playerbase.
