Or put up a Party Finder for a quick and easy unsynced clear—both Ravana and Bismarck can be mowed down really easily.

This was honestly a poor design choice on behalf of the developers, especially since NA/EU do not queue up for EX trials in the Duty Finder. That’s specifically a JP thing. However, this will not be a gate you will be met with in Stormblood or Shadowbringers. All EX content in those two expansions are separate and not required for side story progression (as is other EX content in HW).
I know this is a few days old, but context? I did hte Warring Triad stuff, and I hadn't cleared either the Extremes at the time, so unless you mean Triad Ex's, I'm not sure what you are talking about.
