This is their solution to "more summons" on SMN/SCH, so they'll already be dusting off their hands and calling it a day.

I'm resigned to that. It's already the case that SMNs generally don't use more than ONE of their THREE summons. Where would be the value in adding three MORE summons that Summoners don't use?

Maybe SE will one day buff Titan and Ifrit to the point where they can compete with Garuda, or give them skills that make them more valuable in certain party configurations. When that day comes, perhaps I'll get enthusiastic about the idea of additional summons for SMN. But for now, Contagion is simply too hard to compete with, and giving us three new summons that can't compete with Contagion would be a wasted effort.

If SE has no plans to rebalance the pets Summoner has (and it certainly seems that they don't), then giving us the illusion of additional summons by, for example, allowing us to summon a Ramuh that performs the same type of attacks as Garuda, is about as good as we can hope.
