    As someone who recently made a new character and is doing Gladiator as its main, let me tell you: Higher level characters, even synced down, can rip hate off HARD from my character, just with their current synced skills. More so if its a White Mage spamming Medica for some reason. If I had more green equipment rather then white equipment it would probably be easier but that depends on drops, which haven't been in my favor.

    The leveling roulette to give you a reward for helping newbies (usually, as sometmies you don't get newbies.) And it isn't fun for newbies if you and all your skills from later on just break the dungeons. Scholar fairies already show how broken lower level dungeons can become if we let ourselves use all our skills from later on.

    SCH fairies was going to be my example as well. A SCH in any dungeon prior to Haukke Manor is more or less able to DPS full time and let Eos take care of everything. She's as good as an at-level new healer, and doesn't suffer from server lag like a real person.

    If SE adjusted it so that the abilities could be used when synced down, they'd have to be nerfed down so hard that they'd be useless and you'd be better off sticking with the non-synced rotation anyway.

    Do not forget that they get Leeches only at level 40, which makes some dungeon quite hard to heal through (like the Worm Boss on Cutter's and that Sludge DoT), making Eos a crutch until then

    Not really since Galvanize effects act like a sponge to the DoT damage, hence preventing any trouble with it. That, combined with Eos' AoE regeneration is far from lacking in comparison to the other healers.

    A lot of Scholars have tunnel vision, forgetting that Selene exists or that she can remove status effects. I know I did when I was first leveling Scholar. You get into a habit of leaning on Eos, and forget that Selene brings other things to the table. Eos let's you double up as DPS which you're kind of used to coming from Arcanist.
