Not at all. There are plenty of unique animations they could use for the naginata. While some of Dragoon's animations sweep their spear in a wide arc, the vast majority forcus on frontal piercing stabs.

Also, this wouldn't be the first time they've had to retcon a weapon out of the game for a new class ;P

Paladins used to use "daggers" from time to time before rogue/ninja came out. Which was when they changed their name and replaced them with a new model of an actual sword.
