Continuing with Old character vs starting a New character

to me it would feel the same amount of effort. Maybe coming from WoW that catching up seemed far simpler when dealing with professions and classes so not as daunting when returning.

I've never played WoW before, but from what I've heard, catching up there is easier to do because content isn't really gated behind the main plot quests like it is in FFXIV. If you start over completely, you'll have to go through all of the MSQ again, which is a lot of content to work through. If you're okay with that, then go for it; just know that unless you spend a lot of time playing, you probably won't be caught up with the MSQ again before Shadowbringers drops. Alternatively, there's going to be a New Game Plus system introduces in ShB, which will allow you to play through old content again, so if you can wait for a month or so, that might be another option.
