I did it on tactitian difficulty and I'd say it was the second or third most difficult fight for me in act 2.
My party composition was battlemaster fighter, wolfheart barbarian, trickery cleric and a storm sorcerer with 2 levels into tempest cleric. Additionally I picked the dialogue option where the harpers would assist me in the fight.
In the fight my characters did the following:
The barbarian was raging and tried to stay alive in melee range of the strongest enemies.
The fighter (with sursur greatsword) focussed Z'rell with battlemaster maneuvers and went for the casters afterwards (and fell unconscious multiple times as far as I remember).
The sorcerer started the fight with an upcast shatter enhanced by destructive wrath to severly injure and partially kill the enemies on the left side of the room. Then I used my bonus action flight to fly up onto the beams where the enemy archers are standing. During subsequent turns I shoved the archers down to the ground while casting twinned chromatic orbs on the enemies below, focussing on squishy targets.
The cleric concentrated on bless, used multiple mass healing words (enhanced by gear that grants blade ward and temporary hp to every healed target) and added some minor damage to low hp targets.
