That attack can be dodged/blocked and even if it hits, it's single target and the ability to revive exists. I know that I never came close to losing that fight and at best my mitigation would have been blocking and probably having barrier up (which I am assuming as I did that for most fights).

It's not like if you go in blind to that fight you are going to lose and have to retry. The fight is very winnable without any prior knowledge of what it does and even going in blind probably isn't in the Top 5 hardest fights in the game. I would think that blocking and using barrier materia should be common sense for most fights but even without it, just revive up after the attack.

Like if you wanted to talk one shot mechanics, then the tonberry is far worse for that.
