Any class/job can be challenging and fun if played to its potential. How many of us have grouped with MNKs and DRGs that never move from a single position? Played correctly can those classes be challenging? Sure, but so can a support class if played and
implemented correctly.
DPSing "well" in FFXIV usually requires you to do more than face roll your job.

Besides, it sounds like you're saying a support/CC class is challenging when your own team isn't doing their jobs. Support/CC would be redundant in this situation as your own team should have just done its job in the first place.
