Its ffxiv combat really so slow and boring?

Yea, but there's a good chance that's what they'll use for PvE if it came down to it. They'll cut corners and go by THAT system instead of making one that's fundamentally better. We all know how lazy they are sometimes.

They wouldn't directly port the pvp skill system over. They'd modify it. Would still create less button bloat.

Yea, but not all jobs have button bloat and reducing some of the skills down is going to murder some other jobs like MNK and it's finishers due to positionals. There's not going to be a perfect system without other problems coming out.

They could try to run certain abilities as passive skills, but...that may create a whole other can of worms in and of itself.
