Yes, that was the case.

As a result, Araki had someone tell the gang that there was a way to defeat King Crimson through the Arrow, then he followed up on it by having the entire final battle revolve around trying to get it. There was already a Requiem Stand that King Crimson couldn't brute force in the middle of all that as well.

You're correct; Araki couldn't figure out how to actually beat King Crimson in a fair fight, so he wrote a workaround ahead of time.
