First stage of Resistance weapons seems like an awkward bottleneck

I would personally change it to something like this, taking into consideration the seemingly intention the devs had to encourage people running old content while also not outright completely discourage running Bozja content:

1st step (current 202020 memory): Do 3 FATEs on each of the HW areas (dropping total amount of FATEs you have to do from 60 to 18) and run each of the Crystal Tower Raids once.
2nd step(current 6 Antitower runs): Queue to 3 job specific level 60 dungeons
3rd step (current 15 BLU syrcus tower runs/3 Castrum Lacus Litoire): Do 3 FATEs on each of the SB areas (18 FATEs total) and run each of the Shadow of Mhach Raids once.
5th step (current run 10 Mocciane Arboretum (Hard): Queue to 3 job specific Level 70 dungeons and run each of the Ivalice Raids once.

The idea behind these changes would be to make the Relic grind less monotonous by encouraging diverse old content running and preventing things like Antitower speedrunning.

The only step I have no idea how to fix would be the DR one since any alternative I can think of would be better than to run it (unless you make said alternative incredibly RNGy and grindy (like current PoTD is), and any alternative too lax would have DR queues taking forever come the new expansion preventing people from progressing the Bozja/Relic questline.

Personally I'd just tie it to daily roulettes- a choice to get whatever you need instead of tomestones. Or just be able to trade tomestones directly for the things you want, albeit at a rate that's not really THAT good.
