Isn't it a good idea to just set your passcode to be the same as your Apple ID password?

that's a bad idea. When face id unlock fails, which it will, you then gave to type it out in front of nearby people, which is what this attack is about. secondly, it's a pita to type in a properly secure password every time you want to get into your phone.
