It's not too bad. As long as you're patient

It will go pretty fast just doing your daily Grand Company turn-ins. Any extra grinding on top of that is gravy

Leveling them all up together (although a bit overwhelming) is the best idea. They can share gear as they level up, and you'll have everyone at about-the-same-level when they start requiring different materials from each other anyway.

Good luck!
