I just dont think level boosts are a good idea, for new players, in understanding basic mechanics and gameplay (and I know this is also applicable to people who don't level boost, but still...). Maybe if you use it to unlock the job you want? Maybe?There may be a good reason to purchase a single job boost: you gain access to all the level 50+ starting jobs. It's a less expensive way of figuring out if Samurai/Astrologian/Dancer/Gunblade/Reaper/Sage could be the job you'd like to take up in-game. Less expensive in that you'd pick a job you don't find appealing (yet), boost it, and thus gain access to all of those other jobs without having to level through Stormblood/Shadowbringers first. Downside, of course, is that you still have to go through the MSQ.
Story boosts are another option. Boost <i don't care about it> job to 80. Start <level 50/60/70> job quest. Boost story to the same level as the new job. Shadowbringers was pretty fun as a Reaper when I did that on an alt.
Relive the glory days you skipped using NewGame+. There is no XP, but you get to experience all of the angst of HW, all of the frustration Zenos inspires in Stormblood, all of the questioning of morality in Shadowbringers in short chunks of story line. You can also relive job quests that way if you boost, say, Dark Knight to 80 and then relive the 50/60 storylines again.
