Found this so called "leak" on gamefaqs

If you knew a bit about Samurai history you would know that they are able to whiled two Katana's. Depending on how many Katana the samurai had allowed you to know what rank that Samurai was. So if they are gonna design the Samurai based on Japanese history. Then it will have a offhand weapon.

You may be right, but they take steps into the direction of only mainhands for Jobs, PLD is the only counterexample who has a shield and sword, all mages lost their shields in the process of further progress and all single handed mainhands for the mages got a two-handed version. So it is really unlikley to introduce another job with offhand or they would literaly make a step backwards in this matter. Also the weapon switch with stance switch would be hard to implement like discribed without hard overpowering in guildhests and other low level duties cause the first stance has to be at least at level 10, the lowest duty, to fullfill the condition "never can be without stance", if we say it is playable from level 30.

all single handed mainhands for the mages got a two-handed version.

Gonna stop you right there because that is blatantly false.

you are right, all singlehanded weapons for mages on level 50+ (Primal, Coil) got a two-handed version, for below 50 their were two-handed versions before, even if you can still obtain/craft the singelhanded.

10 MSQ dungeons and 4 trials? Heaven's Ward had literally half of that! Five dungeons and Two trials.

One dungeon per level is far to many. You would be getting out of one dungeon only to need to run another shortly after.

That was due to upgrade path problems caused by main hands and off-hands not dropping together. Going from a two-handed weapon to a one-handed weapon was often not an upgrade unless you had already gotten the shield as well. Changes to how drops work in 3.2 pretty much fixed that problem which the Paladin was still victim of. So jobs will main-hand/off-hand weapon sets are not problematic anymore.
