no, the idea is to create some balance, you would use pets in a situation where you wouldnt want the summoner getting hit or pulling hate ( Aka Summoner Parties, Low Man, soloing) and you would use possession for Group events. the spirits would allow SMN to effectively replace a BLM for abyssea Light Procs.

this would allow summoner to melee yes, however they would be most effective sitting in the back and utilizing MAB gear to blow the crap out of mobs with Merit pacts. and yes, untill SE gives us a reason to backline, then we are melees.
