Easier solution: Pet's don't take damage and can't die. Problem solved!
Then you have an easily abuse-able system in which the Dragoon can simply kite mobs while the Wyvern kills everything for it.

I think the playerbase's decision on this matter is fairly clear: They would rather NOT have a pet attached to the job.

That doesn't mean there are no alternatives. Why we can't simply put Wyverns on the same optional 'battle mount' content as chocobos is beyond my understanding. That way it's balanced against the likes of Chocobos and Magitek armors instead of balanced against Dragoons.
