Still plenty of ways to make the gil. There are also mounts and minions that can be farmed to sell to make gil.
You misunderstand the problem - it's not the products of voyages that will be devalued, because done correctly, the items in question cannot be devalued short of an act of god (ie: nerf). It's the inflationary threat of hundreds of people filling out their alt slots with solo workshops and using them to turn over hundreds of thousands of gil/day/ea. Like I've said, the current profusion of workshop shells and grey-area FC stacking is dangerous enough - removing scarcity and simultaneously making it perfectly legal to roll them 7 deep per account is tantamount to putting a 6 month countdown on the gil economy blowing up.

Though it would be funny to watch the calamitous explosion of submarine material costs followed by voidrake overtaking gil as the primary trade currency, so who's to say if it is really bad.
