Think about it this way, the only downside you mentioned is actually a good side of it too! To be frank, you DO NOT need all those lvl 50 cross class skills to complete your level 50 class quests, right? So it's like an adventure to slowly push everything to 50, collecting all those lvl 50 cross class skills to make yourself more powerful. And then at the end, you take on the star recipes with all these super strengths you collected, and feel extremely accomplished when you succeed. Isn't this just great as a minigame?
