Hmmm, dunno - I found the redcaps pretty easy, but that was maybe mostly due to me blinding them so they never really managed to hit any of my characters.
Also helped that they pretty much file in one by one (if the fight gets triggered by the ethel cutscene) through the muddy terrain and that the elder redcap didn't really manage to get his buff off until the end.
I remember the fight being more difficult (but still managable without cheese) in an earlier patch playthrough, though so it's probably a matter of luck/positioning.
All things considered I think the fight was rather bland (Maybe give ethel the sleep spell in addition to the poison orbs or have one redcap positioned closer to the entrance?)
On a positive note: I was impressed that their pathfinding up to the teahouse entrance didn't bug out. Shows promise for some other battles which have pathing issues.
