The answer is no.

Try hitting all positionals in an ultimate, P3S, P5S, P11S or Criterion dungeons without True North. It's simply impossible no matter how well you greed.

The point of True North is not to invalidate them but to cover for when you cannot hit them. The devs cannot and will not accommodate each fight just because of positionals and that's where player ingenuity and True North come forth. If they did design mechanics with that in mind, bosses would be even more static than they are now already in many fights.
