No, it's not low tier at all. Fantasia existing causes many problems in the lore and story that are simply ignored - and now we know why, because it was a meta-item that facilitated game mechanics and doesn't exist in the setting. Sylphs, the Hildebrand plot, dragons shapeshifting, and Ysayle are all cohesive within the story and do not cause the sort of problems that fantasia did, no matter what words you choose in a poor attempt to present them as just as ridiculous as the presence of fantasia.

Why would Yugiri hide her face rather than just drink a fantasia?

Why wouldn't anyone who wanted to escape notice or deceive someone simply use one to change who they are?

Why would we never hear about one being used in the lore, ever?

It being "legendary and super rare" doesn't explain enough, and furthermore it just puts it into the territory of Rping a WHM or the Azure Dragoon.

Regardless of whatever excuses we come up, fantasia thankfully are not lore by Word of God. I'm not judging anyone who used it in RP - I in fact acknowledged it on a few occasions rather than halt RP so I can fruitlessly lecture people about deductive reasoning, and really I couldn't say for sure they weren't, I just really felt it didn't make any sense for them to exist, no matter how I reasoned through it.
