Guess what job was very rarely undertuned, was almost always viable, and almost always "fun"?

It's the exact same here.

"Yoshi-P plays a Black Mage" so they'll almost always be tuned well.
There was this one time, in like the entirety of the history of the game, where I think arcane mages were undertuned, and it was hotfixed within 48 hours. Meanwhile, shamans and hunters, the known "unwanted child" classes could spend entire patches and tier cycles being ignored, even outright declined/kicked from raid groups. Blizz was never subtle about their class favoritism.
