Legendary guns and the effect on play

Are the enemies and levels just designed so they can be done with any weapon (lame)?

Done right, that's the opposite of Lame. See: Dues Ex.

Uh, did we play the same game? There's tons of stuff only doable if you have certain weapons and augmentations, it's just that the levels were designed to have routes tailored to whatever you decided to play as.

Exactly!

So for your example of the sniper alley, either the player has a sniper, and they can handle the situation that way or it could be designed with a series of cover allowing crafty players to close the gaps and complete it without sniping.
