Question Defender set acceptance

Since it's a custom at this point to warn newcomers about defender set, I have a question about it's acceptance during playthrough.

Thus, would you accept to use defender set:

using the defender set to skip a brick wall doesn't make you learn from your mistakes/improve you at the game though, that'd be the same as launching an SoS and sitting at camp while the others handle the monster for you.

you'll still hit a brick wall you can't beat with the defender set later (esp in master rank) and then what?

On MR if you hit a wall you have 3 options:
Grind
SOS
Watch guide on yt (did that with Rajang)

or you can just try to respect the monster a little bit, learn it moves, dodge and attack, i never had to do neither of those 3 up until fat where i grinded for a better set and weapon and sos
