Yea it will be harder for pugs to function, but it will be better for guild. Good trade off.
Don't get me wrong. I would like to see larger raids but I think it would be next to impossible with the types of players in the game. I was there in wow during 25 man and 40 man raids and they used the DKP system where they had early attendance bonus and all that jazz. The difference though is that players then seemed to have a fixed schedule and log on more consistently. Our raids were almost always impromptu when we have enough people but I have never seen that happen in ffxiv. That is why you see statics are almost mandatory in this game while that accept is almost non existent in wow imo

Another thing you mentioned about players sitting out is also different here in ffxiv. Because there are more bosses in wow, players are more willing to sit out for raids there than here. If you have little time to play and you have to pf if you have to sit out for someone else, I don't think anyone would be happy with that.
