Eh, probably not. I say this because in order to actually get to that point you need to reach level 60. The scrip system, which helps you get better gear, is only available from level 56 which means you're going to need all level 50 crafts just to progress to the point where you can kiss cross-class goodbye.

Seems to me like the entire concept has a few flaws in its design.
