Then I just have hotbars 2 to 6 shared and for out of combat stuff.

Controller isn't going to suit everyone mind but I feel a lot of the perception of Controller being difficult is not knowing how to use it to its fullest.
Yup, ive tested all the methods, they just don't feel "right"

The only thing that feels "right" to me is simply having two cross hotbars (1 and 2) and just switching between both with R1 (one simple button press). This gives me easy access to 32 skills which is enough for my main jobs for sure.

I basically taught myself to quickly hit R1 to access my other skills (the ones in cross hotbar 2) and quickly hit R1 to access my other skills (on cross hot bar 1).

The main issue with having more than 2 cross hot bars is simply that when you want o return to cross hot bar 1 from say 2 it wont go to 1 with one R1 button press instead it goes to 3 you basically have to tell yourself to press R1 twice to get back to 1.

lastly it's probably just a "me" problem since this is my first MMO game and used to the "console experience" . Also, it's not really a "problem" since I learned to play with two cross hot bars (1 and 2 as mention before).

I was just a bit worried since I was thinking "maybe I won't be able to play endwalker since I won't have enough slots on my two cross bars for the new skills.
