I wanna play it eventually but I heard it's a pain in the ass if you don't build your squads a certain with certain classes

what do you mean?
The story characters fulfill every role except Engineer and Lancer. And with how the leveling works, you'll end up leveling out every unit and class evenly anyway.

So you can't really mess up where your run is ruined and you'll end up deploying at least one of every class anyway because the story characters give you an extra turn and have better stats.

I beat the entire game without using engineers except for one or two missions where they were mandatory.

If you are talking about get screwed because you deploy the wrong team, you can just reload the game and set a better team for the map.

There are definitely optimal teams for each map. In general though the game basically tells you when you should bring a lot of a certain class and you can always call for reinforcements mid-battle.
