Well that's a bit subjective in this instance, like I said you pretty much have to get her to Ariel Blast within 5 minutes in order to have enough of the pillars to survive it. Even if they reduced the number of Plumes or their HP, Garuda herself would take the pillars out relatively quickly so you have to work fast.

IMO Ifrit was at a good point of challenge before they re-evaluated the stats in 1.19 or 1.20, he gave players plenty of challenge but wasn't impossible, and definitely didn't require players to beat him down to hellfire within a few minutes.
