Plenty of them. Fitting a non-damaging oGCD during even-minute bursts can be difficult, more so when TN has to be used in a specific GCD. It's not impossible but more often than not something will be moved out of buffs, especially as the fight progresses due to GSK drift. There's also the fact that STD is always a single weave and that Life Surge may be used once or twice depending on timing, although the value of a 5th positional LS is not that important.

The change is mostly QoL for those situations, but a lowered skill ceiling in fights where it wasn't needed. I think it's a band-aid before 7.0, where they'll probably remove some positionals from the job and I wish they didn't but we'll see.
