The only reason M3S is unlikely to be cleared with no healers until much later is because that fight has one mechanic that's precisely designed to require a healer.

Fusefield is 8 separate hits of rather high damage over a period of about 20 or so seconds, also the party is spread out at the time, so Curing Waltz wouldn't be useful. The fact that the damage is spread out also means it's harder to cover all of it with mitigation.

Now imagine if more fights were designed with frequent, moderate damage in mind, then tanks would more supplement healers rather than replace them outright.
