This is probably the best cheap option to take.

Another possibility is that if you have Silver Chocobo Feather tokens (given as a special incentive for starting on or transferring to a low-population server) you can potentially spend these now to get level strong 70 gear. However, if you are struggling with this fight then you may also struggle with the fight at the end of the level 80 tank role quest, and unless you have a different role job as well, it is necessary to complete a role quest before you can finish Shadowbringers MSQ and access the tome vendors. So I would save the feathers to buy armour for that.

I am fairly sure that the job quest fights are designed for players who don't have any access to level 70 gear yet, given that (with the exception of the jobs added in Shadowbringers) you receive your i290 job gear for completing it, only a tiny step up from the i288 gear in the level 69 dungeon.
