Honestly, I don't think "There will always be a meta" is justification for balancing the fun out of the game. So what if some jobs are bad in a fight? Maybe they excel in another. Like your proposed materia, sure, they're unlikely to all be useful, but there could be cases where a niche choice excels for once, that alone, to me, is a good enough reason for having interesting niche choices.
