What's claimed -- or what I personally believe, anyway (if I don't want to speak for others without citing them) -- to be "impossible" is replacing ALL downtime, or nearly all downtime, with healing. And I've yet to see anyone demonstrate otherwise in the context of FFXIV.

There is most definitely room to replace some downtime with more healing. I think ty_taurus has a great graphic that depicts the current situation.
