First off, a correction (or addition) needs to be made here: If Albin and all of his crew are alive after the last wave, you receive 50 + 50 crowns (not 50 + 20 as the entry suggests). So, a max of 100 crowns is possible from this quest.

Second, this doesn't seem too difficult to finish for max reward at DM difficulty. After giving the game a rest for a couple of months after completing it for the first time, I started a new game (lost my new game+ starting save, unfortunately, so I'm building a new one). DM difficulty, level 5, the first 2 Viper Swords you get at White Orchard, Warrior's Leather Jacket, and the starting chest, pants and boots (dunno, I kinda felt I liked Geralt looking like a witcher instead of a mishmash of different clothing this time around). I remembered that the monsters basically spawn from one direction, so I positioned well ahead of Albin's gang. When the monsters spawned, I tried to get their attention. As long as I attacked them, they didn't run into the group. Managed to clear each wave before the next one hit except for the last wave, which had about 20 seconds overlap with the third wave. I was fighting the last third-wave ghoul, but I broke off to draw aggro on the final wave monsters, and that worked for me.
