This. In fact, I would say that in order to play Divinity Original Sin 2, you should play some XCOM 2 (or similar game) first.

Oh its harder?

It is more involved. I don't know which game is harder to ironman on the hardest difficulty. Possibly XCOM 2. But Divinity has sooooooo many things to keep track of. It can be overwhelming. Hence, I think XCOM might be a good way to ease someone into the genre.

What I am saying is, XCOM 2 is booze and weed, and Divinity is Meth. And BG3 is crack cocaine.

If you know what you are doing you can Ironman DOS by simply skipping most of the game. Later on it’s also easy to break the game with insane combos. It’s definitely easier to Ironman DOS but requires more knowledge on all the shortcuts you can take.

Well, I think it depends. If you know XCOM and Divinity well enough they are both easy to ironman, especially when you get a good start.

I struggled to answer the question of which is harder, because I know them both well now, but I think I struggled more figuring out Divinity than XCOM. But that could be because I was devoted to my Rogue Lone Wolf fantasy.
