No. Utter neglect is how you get Living Dead. There are nigh infinite other ways to go about making a unique invulnerability skill none of which necessitate that it be clunkier, more party-taxing, and weaker.

Consider a design as simple as: "Living Dead - Trait: If struck by an attack that would normally kill you, would-be fatal damage is instead delayed by 8 seconds. Damage delayed cannot exceed 1 less than your maximum health points. This effect cannot occur more often than every 5 minutes." Add a persistent visible aura over the Living Dead duration. Simpler, and more functional, but also more unique.

I like this, but it should still be an actively used skill to facilitate intent and proper communication with the party. I'd be pretty upset if this happened when I didn't want it to.

Square: "We can't change Living Dead because of lore to the job"

Also Square: "Astrologian will no longer have Nocturnal Sect and we re-wrote Summoner quests to better fit the Endwalker skill changes."

Yeah... Neglect is definitely a larger playing factor here.
