Best part of a new patch? Third party tools not working.

I don't think the game's well-architected to support having both the combo'd actions and individual ones.

It's essentially just a matter of adding an extra button per combo that one could then place at will.

That would also solve issues surrounding existing and former consolidations. If one wanted Mirage Dive together, they could just use the Jump+MD key. If they wanted them separate, they could just use the Jump and MD keys, separately. If they just wanted to be able to button-mash Jump without fear of MD going off afterwards but still didn't see any reason to leave MD separate, they could put down Jump and Jump+MD. Win-win.

I just wish more of the combo chains did branch, so it was like... 1 followed by 2 (and then 3) or 4 (and then 5, and then 6), etc. Like with SAM and such.

Personally, I wish they all branched at every step (including the first), for a kind of geometric configuration (3 by 3 choices, though some of those may cap out and lead back to the base sooner), or at least had some interface for skipping ahead at cost. I like having more GCD buttons. I just wish they weren't a matter of, say, spending up to 10 buttons on what are presently just 3 actions (spread over 3 to 5 steps).
