If the only reason you play Classic Eq is to slowly grind xp then maybe red isn't for you.
If it's cus you like the shit I can't explain to anyone, my IRL friends, family... the unexplainable things that make Eq magical. Then you should love this video and that swish champions for Eq.
Red has the bonus cus PvP in Eq is brutal and adult human beings that play Eq now cus they loved it 16 years ago couldn't handle the server without it.
If you like fun and almost impossible odds red is for you.

I didn't find party grinding "magical." I found it dull, much like grinding solo is dull.
What I found "magical" about classic EQ was exploring the world, finding out what my limits really were, what I could handle on my own if I really stretched for it and what I could pull off with a party in a rough situation.
Nothing about sitting around on the upper floor of Unrest grinding mobs is magical, no matter what the characters are wearing.
As for your second point: did you really just imply that players on Red can't handle classic EQ without being given a huge experience boost? That's...hunh. That is not something I expected to hear, but okay, I'll take your word for it.
When I look at this video, I just see an alternate version of what happens on Blue with its ridiculous level of twinking and powerleveling. On blue it's a character in gear way above the area's level having their hand held through the grind to make it faster so they can get to the upper levels and raid or whatever; on red it's a party of characters being mechanically powerleveled through the grind to make it faster so they can get to the upper levels and raid or whatever.
I don't see either as being better or worse than the other, which makes all the RvB "classic!" dickwaving both funny and confusing to watch.
