Are role actions a nerf?

No, illusion of choice is what we have now, ie more skills/slots available than we would ever *really* use (on some classes at least).

Switching role skills freely in dungeon without penalty isn't a choice either. It's just a more complicated cooldown rotation where you should be using all of the skills but have to actively switch them in and out.

I have a choice of which abilities I use in a given fight rather than having all of them because 5/10 of them are completely useless.

And again. If 5/10 of the choices are completely useless, it's not really a choice.

If 5/10 were USELESS then you would have a point, but they aren't so..... Disregarding the Protect/Esuna arguement there are still multiple things to choose from.
