Perhaps a bit of a tangent here, but I will un-ironically say that I find SMN's current DPS kit to be less interesting and engaging than any of healers' current DPS kits. And mind, I've known nothing but Endwalker SMN, so it's not as if I'm pining for some previous iteration of the job.

Endwalker SMN is the only (combat) job where I constantly feel like I'm forgetting something. But, nope, cooldowns are on cooldown, there is no gauge to overcap, and there is no DoT to maintain.

The serious point to take away from this is that "DPS" isn't merely a matter of button count.
