So in my "replay" of the game I';ve decided to NEVER UPGRADE my crystarium!!!

Well until its absolutely necessary....this will add some challenge lol

I maintain the idea that it's completely possible.

Save your two accessories (I think 2) for the Bangles (Silver, Gold, etc.) and damage reduction.

And farm every shroud to max and don't start using them until absolutely necessary.

Is the max 99?

If so, get that many for each one (Aegisol, Fortisol, Deceptisol, and Ethersol).

Yep, the maximum amount is 99, but I dread to think the amount of farming is needed to get 99 of them all. That's 396 sols, given that even doing 0/5 all battles and getting one sol per enemy, at a rate of 3 enemies per battle, that's 132 battles, which would have to be made at a target time no shorter than 90 seconds for 0/5. 

That's 3 and a half hours of farming, minimum for all the conditions I've enumerated XD Realistically it would be over 6 hours.
