That depends on your goal. If you're trying to level and want the most XP/time, you need to make use of roulettes. Without a roulette bonus, it wouldn't matter if you logged in for roulettes once a day, or just ran a bunch of dungeons at the end of the week.


Also, specifically to the topic of this thread (dungeons), the only dailies are the roulettes, and all the rewards from roulettes can be gained by other methods that are not time gated.
Roulette rewards aren't exclusive, but that's not the problem, it's that they make one way (or schedule I guess) of obtaining those rewards better than others in terms of efficiency.

So you indeed have flexibility in how you want to play depending on your situation and goal (how much time you have to play or whether you need gear upgrade/MSQ completion/experience points, etc).
There is some flexibility, but time gating isn't contributing to that at all.
