Assuming "we" is either the US or the entirety of the western world, I'd disagree. Any decision to engage Russia with NATO or NATO-adjacent forces must be lead by the nations of Europe.
There are still other sanctions that can be applied. Removal from the Swift network is probably the nuclear option in terms of financial sanctions. But, Germany and Italy (at least), as of yesterday, were opposed because of the likely impact on their own economies.
