Personally, Endwalker has made Red Mage fun enough for me, in the content I played. I still miss RDM's old Impact being a jolt upgrade and giving more proc options, but the changes to manafication getting you a solid opener everytime, Embolden being a flat damageup, the 50/50 need for the combo instead of 80/80, the new acceleration and the finishers after 3 Moulinets are great additions. For level 100 I think anything added after the current finisher would be too much, so I don't know how much they can improve upon the job, apart from upgrading spells or adding charges. Perhaps another step in the utility path with a single target buff/debuff

Healing wise, I liked Sage, and Astro did the seals better than Shadowbringers, although I still feel the card system is lackluster compared to its original iteration.
I like White Mage as it is, although it could do with more DPS. I guess it could have more ways to generate and spend lillies.

But my real main job used to be SMN and I can't play it anymore at all, I dislike everything about its rework (which makes me a bit worried for AST because I think it doesn't need a rework from the ground up, just some tweaks and a focus on the cards part).

Being a caster main, I have slight curiosity about pictomancer, but that's it.
You might genuinely be the only person I have ever met who thinks the current seal system is better than anything we had in ShB given how useless the modern seal system is

I guess it was annoying to only get a two seal divination by astrodyne is probably the worst ability a class has gotten in years
