You CAN churn them out (the "en masse" part will come when yields are changed), they just won't be 15 second Crafts that 100% HQ every single time. Even with a pentamelded set and HQ Seafood Stew I can't guarantee 0-100% without getting every Hasty or a few Goods, but as far as the stat investment goes the rotation above is nowhere near max-meld levels of difficulty when using HQ Baked Onion Soup, and given the time I could likely build a relatively cheap set on Ariyala.

In HW Crafting has seen the biggest changes and seems to be the single thing that SE isn't willing to copy-paste their 2.0 routine onto and because of this we CANNOT keep using 2.0 as a basis of what to expect. ALC will become a potion factory again in 3.3 when they (hopefully) increase the yields, you'll have time before the next raid tier in 3.4 to improve your gear and reduce Craft time/increase quality rates, max pots will likely be unlocked from Specialist in 3.4, and I highly doubt they'll be releasing new 4-Star pots which means max pots will become the new x-pot.
