Is there any point ...

If you like it then why not, it's enjoyable and that's the goal of a game. If you are looking for gil you'd better lv up your DoL first, this funding is too low in today's inflation.

I wouldn't say I'm in love with crafting, else I'd be power leveling it like all get out. Sometimes I hate it (when RNG hates me), other times it's kinda fun. It's kind of 'eh' to me as a whole. XD I've never made any of the endgame gear either. I guess I kind of feel hesitant about it all now, after reading all the threads on the subject.

If youre not planning to crafted the latest recipes, its like always. Only the 2 star stuff is gated behind weekly caps.
Since you just started crafting now, i dont suppose you want to compete or get the best crafting gear asap, so getting to level 60 can still be enjoyable and beneficial to you. Once you get everything to level 60 the cap will probably be lifted or at least eased.

Youre not wasting gil if you dont powerlevel your crafts. Its slow, but if you get most of your own mats and refine it with crafting you can make quite some gil while leveling slowly.
