Making BLU balanced for endgame content does not require that it acquire its skills in the same way. It's not among the first job choices; as a bonus job, it doesn't need to have the same ease of skill acquisition as everyone else. You can give it whatever additional requirements for 8-man content of their level that you want. To say that they must lose their unique content (skill acquisition) or must be unable to join in any and all standard content at level is a blatantly false ultimatum.
