In retrospect, I actually don't mind its use of Dispel since it forces you to manage buffs more carefully. Again, my biggest gripe is how spongy/tanky the boss is. A character with 255 MAtk using Pearl + MP Turbo does around 1700-1800 damage per cast. Physical attacks with Holy-Elemental do similar damage but less than half my attacks managed to connect because of its high physical evasion. Albeit, I was using Tifa with Premium Heart as my physical attacker, which doesn't have 255 Attack%, but I was still surprised by how often she was missing. KOTR does around 1800-2000 per hit for a total of ~25000 per cast. Obviously the deterrent for using KOTR is the tentacle counterattacks, which is where Peerless comes in handy. You can usually cast KOTR 4-8 times using W-Summon + Mime before the boss uses Dispel (assuming you have 2 casters). That's enough damage to get rid of the tentacles, at which point Peerless becomes unnecessary.
Since the boss has over 200,000 HP, fighting it without KOTR will take quite a while. If the intended strat is to rely on KOTR (from Master Summon to allow for infinite casts) + Peerless, then it's pretty much fine as is. If the intended strat is to use other sources of damage, then I would recommend reducing some combination of its HP, Defense, and Evasion.
Of course, this is just my opinion after fighting it a few times so take it with a grain of salt. Hopefully as other people fight this boss, you can get some other perspectives.
