Trusts healers are also very bad at their job, like unless you're a WAR and doing W2W pulls you are in a very real danger of just dying because Alphi or Urianger are too busy twiddling their thumbs.
Forcing W2W on Trusts as a DPS is also pretty dangerous since you yourself run the risk of just being auto'd to death before Thancred manages to peel the mobs off you. It is doable, and i'd say it's actually fun, but you really need to know how to do that efficiently. Also you do run into potential issue of Trusts not being able to handle said W2W.
if you somehow mess up and die, it immediately boots you to the start.
Yeah, that's by design, to prevent Duty Support from outright replacing player queues. But as a DPS player presented with a 30m+ queue due to the lack of healer's queueing, you can just get around it by running the dungeon in duty support. The extra 5 - 10 minutes it takes to clear the dungeon because the NPCs suck at DPSing isn't much of a deterrent when the alternative is to wait even longer for a player queue. Trusts being bad at healing is also pretty irrelevant when the entire reason this thread exists is because healers are literally completely unnecessary in dungeons lol

The real rebuttal that you should bring up is when you get to a Trial, but even then, when I got to the lv83 trial when Endwalker launched, and we couldn't get a queue to pop because not enough players had gotten that far yet, we just opened a PF and had a SMN main switch to SCH for the fight, and we just cleared it with 1 tank, 1 healer, and 6 dps.
