Don't try to grind plat when you could just be leveling at least in the mid levels imo.

Amen. I always put it this way: at level 30 you can farm what, tens of plat per hour? At level 50+ you can farm hundreds (if not 1k+) an hour. But if you're leveling your leveling rate is (prety much) the same regardless of gear. With a few exceptions (eg. goblin ring or fungi) it won't matter what your gear is: whether you have 1k AC or 2k AC you're going to kill mobs at pretty much the same rate.
So you can spend (say) ten hours farming plat to get maybe 500 plat, or you can spend that time leveling up, and when you get higher you can earn that same amount of plat in a single hour (ie. an order of magnitude more efficiently).
There are totally legit reasons to focus on plat over leveling anyway (eg. to delay leveling up, or to get an affordable item like the goblin ring which you know will increase your leveling speed), but in general if you're trying to get the "best" character in the shortest amount of time you should devote that time to leveling.
