I don't see where the problem would be if the promised XP would be the same but you'd have a tough time doing them with underleveled gear or complete disregard of your fellow adventurers and your own skills.

The very best time I've had so far with FATEs was with a boss monster on a field of Stropers. Some 4 players only were trying to tackle it down while trying to dodge the stinky doom of the nigh-lethal AoE attacks of both the boss and added non-FATE monsters. A few of us died once, me included, but it was the most rewarding feeling in the game so far once the boss was down. I'd love to see situations like those arise more often instead of just a 20-man magitek steamroller making the whole content little more than an XP piñata.
