CT being a newbie killer is more a reflection of how bad Dynamis is in general. How many random mid to late game trials are run killers there after getting through the wall that is CT?

It's a symptom to another problem.
Based on what I would see in the PF, these were the most common requests for Trial assistance in my 3 years of playing over there, even if some of them are entirely optional.

ARR: Titan, Leviathan, Nabriales, Gilgamesh (both, but 2nd fight moreso than the 1st), Ultros & Typhon, Odin

HW: Bismarck, Nidhogg, Sophia, Zurvan

STB: Susano, Shinryu, Tsukuyomi, Rathalos, Yojimbo

SHB: Hades, Warrior of Light, Ruby Weapon, Emerald Weapon

Keep in mind some of these are impossible for someone to solo unsync due to mechanics so one can't just cheese through them no matter how high their level or gear is. I also assume the reason some people struggled to do even the ones that CAN be done unsync is because they kept dying on a one-shot-kill mechanic and not being able to figure out what to do, or because they couldn't meet the DPS check for another mechanic. Warrior of Light is especially damning because you MUST bring a full party with 1 tank and 1 healer being further required. I had the First being in a perpetual Starshower for lord knows how long because the weather is permanent until you finish Seat of Sacrifice.

I myself got stuck on Susano, Hades, Warrior of Light, and Ruby Weapon for months on end and various points, which contributed heavily to my dislike of Shadowbringers as a whole with Crystal Tower just being the beginning of my problems with that expansion apparently... to say nothing of how I just ended up hating G'raha when it was all said and done because its quite literally his fault I had to do Crystal Tower and got stuck on the First to begin with.
