The same can be said of every single job they will ever introduce.
No I don't agree. I believe that they can go a different route if they decide to make RDM a healer with some support moves instead of just rehashing what they did with BRD. For example, in situations during T9 if your WHM is halfway decent, most whms can solo heal parts of that fight (golems, heavens fall with no add etc). This usually leaves the SCH in a position to dps while their fairy is healing along with the whm. The fairy itself is a huge support role, with Selene being of great use to push DPS phases.

Now let's reverse that and align RDM along the healer route, and give them decent heals (not the BEST but something), and give them some cool support moves as well, such as haste/refresh. While your other healer is primarily healing (either whm or sch can work TBH), the RDM is buffing the party in between heals if need be. The only issue I can see this maybe being an issue perhaps lack of AOE heals if you have a SCH alongside the RDM. Don't get me wrong, succor + shield+ Eos Regen can suffice for it, but finding a decent sch capable of these things is another story <_< And since past games, RDMs were never given aoe spells, I'm assuming they would be lacking in the department. The same thing can be said of their AOE dps rotation if they were actually implemented as a dps class...
