However, you could make the same argument for a lot of the job quests in Stormblood or even two of the fights against Zenos as they are solo duties as well. The Monk quest where you fight a massive group with mecha with the other Monks is a good example of this.
And every 4-man story dungeon, nearly every leveling dungeon at this point, is an example to the contrary.
