It would fill some purpose for me, as I think the biggest disappointment I feel when seeing FFXI NMs(Notorious Monsters btw, Simurgh, Ose, etc) is that they're FATE mobs and serve little to no purpose outside of window dressing for another boss fate. So if they added drops to those FATEs, I think I'd like em a bit more.

Anyway, I believe theres a good reason to add NMs, but I understand some aren't... I just don't see how some of these suggestions could do anything but help players and add more variety and flavor to not only the game, but to the open world.
