I think people's experience with Hard will vary based on how you are with action rpgs. I'm by no means an expert but I do tend to always chooser harder difficulties if possible and I didn't find Hard challenging (was still fun) outside of one or two spikes and that was mainly the AI not avoiding the aoes. I never took a healer with me, went pure damage and I was fine with healing, they literally throw healing items at you non-stop and on Hard, you can still use 9 of each in your ring menu.
Considering you can take 9 Candys, Chocolates, Honey Elixirs, group heal items (rarer though), Revival items etc, it's more than enough. I defeated the postgame boss on Hard in just over a minute i'd say.
