No it's not unacceptable. It's supposed to be a long questline and take a while to finish. If you want to get it asap and spend all day grinding fates, that's your choice, but it's not necessary.

If you don't like having to spend a lot of time on achieving the Atma/Altimus weapon, I suggest you to farm Leviathan EX or Coil instead.
