When people know what they have lost they will want it back and optimize for it. If an average daily roulette dungeon takes 30 min instead of 15 because of one bad person then people will try to move to vetted groups or do other shenanigans to once again have 15-minute runs.
The healer isn’t a tank backup though. The healer is just the worst role in every category. If the tank is playing badly enough they actually need the healer by your own logic they should be getting vetted by this mythical filter you seem to think will happen

Which leads into the next point, runs weren’t 30 minutes compared to 15 minutes when the tanks didn’t have ridiculous self healing, you are literally arguing against a situation that has never existed in the game outside of ARR. dungeons in ShB didn’t take 40 minutes with the party regularly wiping to an incompetent healer. What they did have though is actual skill checks for tanks rather than just inbuilt immortality and actual responsibility for the healer rather than being an enforced role burden
