They are giving us several jobs per expansion. I think there's enough freedom since we can already play all jobs on a single character.
This is pretty much my thought too. They gave it a whirl with SMN and SCH, both are/were objectively plagued with balance issues that in some cases (SCH) still haven't been corrected, and I'd rather they not try to brute-force a concept that it's clear they haven't been able to master yet. Meanwhile, new jobs may not be perfect (AST, MCH...), but they've at least had a good amount of attention given to them and their problems can be corrected in a relative vacuum, making it easier to work on them (AST is harder because of how baldly it mimics SCH/WHM, IMO).
