No, these are literally the only two dungeons where it's so big a problem. In all the other ones, they learned their lesson by breaking them up. Heavensward's version is two things: Aetherochemical REsearch Facility and Singularity Reactor. The big block of cutscenes is before one, between the two, and after the last one. That means everyone not there for the cutscenes can complete it and leave while the person there for the cutscenes can watch them. They don't disturb each other. When the cutscenes are done, the person can simply queue up for the second part. Ditto with Ala Mhigo and Royal Menagerie.

That's SE changing the content design to remove the problem. These two are unique in their design precisely because SE learned from them.
