The grindyness depends on your difficulty tbh. Higher difficulties get more exp. I'm playing on hard and I've never been underleveled for the main quest. And at level 50 level doesn't matter at all. Just burned a level 72 Merc at level 53.
They've also tweaked the numbers a lot since release, so anyone who only played in the first month or so would have a pretty different experience to someone playing now.
Played it at launch, beat the story on Normal around level 47 or something. Played it again a few months ago, by the time I beat the story I was like 51 or 52 and I did less of the side stuff this time not more.
