Middle ground would ruin it for both sides.
Making top-end gearing meaningless.

PS: How do you know who has "brains" in LFG?
The latest dungeon (which is sadly going) Demon's Wheel is basically just that. Essential Mana's guide have mentioned that it is better NOT to read the guide first and actually play it, which is what players should be doing in the very first place. Guides should only be when you need help or being stuck at a part where you don't get, not as a walkthrough for you to brainlessly clear it.
I personally took 3 seperate runs to learn how bandersnatch does his odd and even mechanic under 50%. I am sure a significant portion of the endgame community actually spent hours practicing the harder dungeons (queue old school schm) instead of just relying on what KTera gives us in the form of guides.
Unfun mechs is not something that requires quick thinking and brainpower. (Tera honestly doesnt have true brainpower gameplay yet). Unfun mechs are oneshots that come out of absolutely nowhere with little warning meaning people with high ping will definitely not get out of them. Being killed by a mechanic or a start of a rotation that doesn't have any indicator (I don't mean the carpets, I mean boss actually giving a hint it is going to start the move) is the number one way to tilt your audience.
SSHM/NM is only tilt inducing for me because of server lag tbh.
Also to correct you, humans have a short term memory capacity of 5-9 items. And the memory work you do in the new dungeons doesn't exceed 5. If you have difficulty remembering 5 items at any given moment you probably want to do some brain workouts because it is a symptom that your brain isn't working at its true capacity.
