Whether you were intentionally trying to mislead people or not, this is just untrue. A white mage doesn't need padding to out damage a tank. All they need for the healing requirement to be low enough so that they do not have to gcd heal - something that isn't exactly a rare occurrence in shadowbringers. See here.

If you think this is because of padding, it isn't. Note that the list is sorted by raid dps and not personal dps. A white mage purely doing their dps rotation properly without having to gcd heal will do more damage than even the best of tanks. I don't see how this can be disputed at all.
