Does it make sense in a world where NIN THF and DNC can solo better and safer? Not one bit, but that is most likely a factor in this whole thing.

Not that I care, I'm glad I don't have Cure 5.
Unless Red Mage or Scholar can somehow solo and heal a group the same time, I don't see how one affects the balance of the other. Their soloing strategies typically aren't based around cure spells.
