Persona 5 Scramble: the Phantom Strikers is totally a fun Persona game. The soundtrack is a breath of fresh air compared to the original P5, because Shoji Meguro's music is boring and sounds the same. I really like how the game feels fresh in general. But the story sucks and it's totally predictable and generic. It manages to be even less interesting than P5 and I don't know how they accomplished that. The characters aren't that interesting either. Sophia is basically just a fusion of Morgana and Aegis from Persona 3 and Zenkichi is basically just Dojima from Persona 4, but I think the musou gameplay makes up for all those issues. There's a bit of depth to it, but once you try to figure out each character and how they work, you'll have a blast. If you love Persona 5/Royal then you'll love P5S.
