I feel it is, yes (this is personal opinion, unrelated to rules discussion). Hitting a super high AC is acceptable in the 'there's always a gap' kind of sense... brain-powering your way of a mental crush from an overbearingly superior force, not so much. If anything, your barbarian is a prime example of why one of your heal-capable characters might consider carrying lesser restoration with them as one of their prepared spell, going into nasty combats, or just in general - expressly, to help the characters that cannot help themselves.
Edit: Though, LR wouldn't help since it technically doesn't cover Stun... however, it's a very specific niche situation where the save is impossible, even then. The enemy using it would have needed to have been souped up by your DM, since there is all of one creature in the official books that has 9th level spells and a DC over 20. The highest generic is a save DC 19, so even a negative 1 can save out on their own. Outside of that, paladin auras, bardic inspirations, resistance, and a handful of other options exist to assist in helping your team mate out, and your party is going to have access to at least some of them (in a pinch, you could polymorph them into something with 2 or lower Int, to automatically make them shrug the spell).
