Merciless is totally manageable. Enemies are a threat. They can nearly (or actually) one shot you if they hold you're weakness. This makes combat very engaging and rewards you for being smart. If you make the star confidant a priority so you can tag in and out you'll be versatile enough to handle it.

On NG+ the first 70% is a non factor since youre going to have endgame persona out of the gate.

Personally I would only ever play on Merciless for NG+. Doing a standard run on Merciless...would be tough. You would have to make sure to have the right persona on joker to exploit weaknesses since you wouldnt be able to tag until around the...4th dungeon? Maybe earlier but still. It would be a sizable challenge.

If you set a penalty on yourself that you could only recruit persona from the compendium that were your level on a NG+ run I think it would be a fun playthrough throughout.
