Honestly, that was the only quest in the entirety of Endwalker that I enjoyed doing. Would you have preferred yet another escort mission? Or follow someone 20 feet but make sure they don't see you?

The instance was different. It was stressful, but I felt a great sense of relief when I beat it. It changed how you had to approach the instance. You couldn't just fight your way through it. You had to be patient and pick your battles. Is the risk worth the reward.

It may not be everyone's cup of tea. I'm not particularly fond of stealth missions, but I actually did enjoy that one. Felt very accomplished at the end. Especially having not died.
