I would think you have to have your head buried pretty deep in the sand to not think the intended method of completion (the normal way) would be a player dealing with the actual mechanics of the boss fight, and not just stacking 3 healers, or having two healers who know to stagger heals. I would also place money on SE not even thinking that people would do this. Same as they didn't expect people to bring two PLDs to coil, or expect people to run out the timer for Dark Devices while killing mobs for exp chains, or expect people to bypass most of the mobs in AK. They kind of have a history of not fixing these little things until the community at large has been using them for a while (and saying it's working as intended until the fix is implemented). Yes the method has existed for a long time, but only recently did everyone and their mother start doing it.

I am not going to be at all surprised if SE patches it, even if they claim it's working as intended before hand. They have a history of doing that. In the meantime, I don't have anything against people that do it. It's there, SE aren't going to ban you for it and have given every indication that it's okay, so why not? Personally I prefer doing it the way the fight was intended, both because the fight is more fun for me that way, and because I think it'll be patched and I don't want our group out of practice when it is. Regardless of what people try to present as an argument though, I will maintain that if you disable all of a boss's mechanics (any boss), you're using a cheap tactic to win the fight. That doesn't mean you're bad by default, it doesn't mean you cheated and should be banned, and it doesn't mean you'll never clear anything else.

The enrage appears to be a soft enrage, which by all means, should actually kill people over time.. usually by gradually doing more damage, or by applying a healing debuff, or the pulses coming more quickly. It should get harder to heal through as time passes, and not just because healers are losing mana. Otherwise, it's not really an enrage at all.
