No, the way to fix power creep is by fixing potion of speed, nerfing Balduran greatsword, and nerfing broken systems like autocrit on paralysis and half orc giving an entire damage dice extra on crits. Nerfing surprise ambush on scripted bosses so they can't be ambushed while in dialogue and commencing battle puts all allies in combat regardless of distance.
Then you can work on giving other classes besides plate martials and monks some actual magic gear, since 95% of the items in the game are monk and plater 2H class items.
If you nerfed down the amount of extra attacks classes get and the power creep of consumable potions and some outlier weapons and crit damage amplification and guarantee, you'd solve most of the damage creep without making items BORING.
