In fact, for most monks, this is a source of consternation because now they have to worry about building even more stacks without reliable ways to do so, on top of a very stale rotation.
Monks' design nightmare is mostly unique, however; it's hardly a good indication of what designs have or have not worked among other jobs.

The point in contention is whether "the old capstone skill, but more often" is a sufficient concept for a capstone skill. Monk doesn't have that. It provides no answer towards either way.

The closest Monk gets to that is perhaps Deep Meditation II, which is a passive rather than a skill, or TK and SSS, which don't much actually allow for increased uses of each other (as one can SSS and then just FS spam to maintain GL, and can only get about four uses of TK across the entire raid tier). Its contribution to that discussion is therefore minimal at best.
