Well, you're rolling off or avoiding all crit related affix's so those are open for toughness rolls? It didn't look that hard to me.
Keep in mind I'm talking about using normal non-seasonal wizard stash to equip,
I got to test this and you're right, the gear requirements aren't that high, I must've catched a wrong toughness number from the vid. (edit: I didn't, but you don't need 90m toughness for gr80.)
I see no harm for you in trying, at least you'll get the joy of playing something very unconventional. That joy may be short-lived though because it honestly isn't much fun to play. The playstyle reminds me of the super early vanilla era, when you could beat the entire game with a DH @ 8k hp (eg getting one-shot by literally everything).
If you care about paragon and gem lvls(why?), this should be the fastest solo(!) route. However note that beyond that you'll never level these gems again with your regular chars, might influence the motivation to play them.
About leaderboards: I don't care about them, but given that the 4p players have reached 120 it doesn't matter if any solo class can bug its way to lvl 100. Paragon and gem lvls from the legitimate multiplayer "cheese" are still higher.
Not to bring down hellfire and flaming from all directions, but I'm seriously looking at this to help me level up gems in non-season as I've never been able to get very high before. I have no leaderboard aspirations and would just like to get up farther than I have for the legendary gem improvement. I've never exceeded 65 to my knowledge. If I can use this to get to 75-80, woohoo!
Are "normal" leaderboards a big deal like the seasonals are?
