Yes, it is. Endwalker is probably going to be a retread of FF8. There is supposed to be this huge invasion of all of thousands and thousands of terrifying monsters ravaging the world... but we all know that in the actual game it's just going to be a few mobs wandering around on the ground in a zone (aka same as before the supposed apcolaypse began), and everyone will survive and get a happy ending.

Not a problem. Rerunning dungeons with trusts isn't canon anyway, so it doesn't matter if a party member dies during the story but you can use them again in trusts later. It's not like you'll actually lose the ability to use that character in trust dungeons, making all of your time grinding them up meaningless.
