How would you rank the mid/late/endgame content by difficulty from the hardest to the easiest?
For example:
Abyss > 6.2 > 6.3 > V1 > LoL > V2,3,4 > 6.1 > RttL > Act 5 > UCEQ > RoL
For example:
Abyss > 6.2 > 6.3 > V1 > LoL > V2,3,4 > 6.1 > RttL > Act 5 > UCEQ > RoL

Now granted, more and more in the modern game that list of required champions to make content easier is getting broader, but it's still a factor
Abyss>6.2>6.3>v1>6.1>v2,3,4>rttl>lol>act 5>uceq>rol
(Lol is so low because I have a sig 200 maxed aegon, can fairly consistently do paths itemless with him)
Atleast from what I have heard
Trying to get to that upper half now, just need the RNG to be with me
Variant 234 down
Just working on Variant 1
6.2 6.3 and LoL, and of course The Abyss.
I'd say under good circumstances, an Abyss path will take 6+ hours. At 5 paths, that's 30+ hours to clear it. However, this doesn't account for the hours of grinding required if you plan on having the resources to complete the Abyss without spending any cash.
As far as amount of time, Act 6 Exploration will definitely take more than 30 hours all-in, but you can knock out a path at a time, often times in 30 minutes or less. This bite-size approach makes Act 6 feel more reasonable. Having an off day? Just exit the quest. Most people aren't going to get to Easy Path Abyss Invisible Woman and decide to quit. There's too many resources already sunk into the run.
As far as sheer revives, I've estimating something in the range of 80-100 revives per Abyss Path. Keep in mind that most of these aren't because a player's skill isn't good enough...they're because a player ran out of warfare charges. Even so, these deaths still require revives. Because of this, I overall used fewer revives for Act 6 than Abyss. With proper planning and a good roster, a good player could finish all of Act 6 with less than 100 revives.
What I will agree with you on is that the challenge of the Act 6 fights are generally harder. If you have the right champs, the Abyss fights are relatively straightforward. However, Do You Bleed/Lifecycle Medusa, Do Not Go Gentle Annihilus, or Destructive Feedback Wasp all require a fair amount of skill to solo.
Individual fights? Act 6 is generally harder. However, Abyss requires more of a commitment to planning and grinding to do it without spending, which ultimately will take more time.
