For your all-monk setup, perhaps. In my group's setup, we have a WAR who does 6-10k damage on resolution, so every bit of TP we can give her is good TP. We also don't pop PD until the first ADL is at around 70% HP, so the regen from embrava and regen V keeps us alive.
Since we have SCH capping our haste, I don't have to come as bard, so I come as cor instead. That way I can give buffs, deal damage, and attempt to restore 2hrs after the fight. This is what works best for our group because of the people we have and the jobs they have leveled. You need to learn that just because people don't spend months leveling and gearing different jobs in order to conform to your methods, it doesn't mean they need to "suck less".
Even your method is far from being perfect. If you could get one more DD in your group, your bard could SV, give songs to 5 DDs, drop from party, lock on the ???, and then you'd add your SMN, PD, pop, and fight just like before except you'd have soul voiced songs instead of normal songs, and you'd have one extra DD. Your bard does nothing after songs are up and is just a waste of a party space. But you're making use of what you have, just like every other group. Doesn't mean you suck.
