I'm at dungeon 3 and I've been super stingy with my skill upgrades and stored units, most of my skills are still at level 1 and I've been fine. The only skills I've gone out of my way to level is Heavy Attack, and even then fighters get Full Power Strike for free at higher levels which does pretty much the same damage. It's very clear they balance the difficulty of the game around players using generics and keeping most of their skills low-leveled.
I get not liking gacha but the game isn't pay to win. Yes, whales can nuke the game's difficulty by disciplining their units with dupes, but that takes an insane amount of whaling and it honestly just ruins the difficulty of the game because it's more fun when the battles are challenging. The most fun I've had in the game are the bosses like the dungeon 3 doll and crossover event dragon which forced me to fight super carefully and make very good use of my skills and items, and if I had just whaled past that those fights wouldn't be fun.

Literally every player complains how stingy the game is
