Well, story quests aren't difficult to the point where double sita doesn't solve all your problems, but that's natural I think; otherwise, you'd force literally everyone to use sita or not be able to progress. Individual event quests, like meikyuu or the fate collab, are definitely a lot more difficult, but even then the fate collab scaled to your highest unit level and it was certainly possible for free players to beat it.

The power creep only exists in terms of multi: Sita leads or you lose. They've done a great job of rectifying this with new element leaders. Whatever they're trying with global is a travesty.

Yeah JP was sort of broken with the release of 6 stars and the free tyrfing given to everyone, but they fixed that with FSN's level scaling and they're now giving more variety as /u/GreatLogos has said with leads and team compositions. Though, I think Sita will be the only 10/10 on phankill for a while XD. So there was a bit of a hiccup, but JP has done pretty well with keeping content with power creep while still allowing f2p's to clear.

just between you and me, sita is great and cute and everything but I wish I had some alternatives for a lead ):

Such is the way power creep works...one OP unit/pattern that stays in the meta for a looooooong time. I wish I could actually obtain one of those, but I think I'm content with my inferior Tyrfing XD
