an actually useful criticism of what I said would relate to what the experience is like today, not what people had to suffer through eight years and a million expansions ago.
I only know what it was like in Heavensward simply because that was the only time I ever had 0 aetherpool. Realistically, I'm not going to spend all my aetherpool just to test this when the aetherpool is useful to me.

I didn't really remember the details of the buffs and didn't know it was quite that extensive. I was guessing it was more of a minor buff than that like +1, and without having 0 aetherpool again I couldn't imagine if it would help a new player enough. But 5 from each chest should probably get their aetherpool half to cap in the first 10 floors, and if aetherpool is capped for a given floor then everything is easy solo.
