I'd still rather job/class specific gear to be just that, restricted to those jobs.

Though the restrictions should be consistent across the board; DoW can't glamour DoM equipment, especially when DoW can glamour into DoM (and tanks having the most freedom). Either that, or lift the restriction that prevents DoM from glamouring into DoW.

Or introduce more of those craftable versions that can be used by any class, such as the taffeta or light-steel series.

The whole " we dont want to confuse players" thing is a pretty weak reasoning, but I'm floating more on the (cant find the right word) willing suspension of belief in regards to how your character look in non-seasonal/event items.
