Lucis is only time consuming, due to the sheer number of Moonstones and "Duck Bone" (and similar items for the other crafts) and the need to craft 20 tokens. That's not difficulty, that's tedium.
Yea I'm with you. The Moonstones are the painful part. Even the leves I did for the tokens weren't that bad if you selected the easiest crafts for the leves. The turn-ins themselves are a compromise between the Master I turn ins and the Master II tur ins: They aren't as easy as the Master Is and not as punishing/costly as the Master IIs.

I mean, I know a few people that had all their Lucis tools within 3 days of the patch. I couldn't be bothered to spend that much time on something that isn't necessary for 4* crafting, but it's to show it's doable.

I've found for the Moonstones doing a few maps kills the tedium of spamming GC seals.
