So... that spiderman shirt... (new job tease)

Where you are quite wrong is that there are things we "DO" know, and it seems that quite a few people have absolutely no idea what deductive reasoning skills are. You cannot twist facts to support a narrative that isn't there. Speculation isn't a blanket statement for: "I want this! So be damned the logic and facts!"

1: After Heavenward released Yoshi and team said they were never going to do 3-4 job releases that close together ever again, and at most, we'd get 2 at a time going forward. ROG/NIN with 2.4, DRK/MCH/AST with 3.0. So, with that "FACT" we know that we can only expect 2 jobs for this expansion. Not 3 or even 4.

Aaaannnd no !
The problem was the release of Rogue/Ninja (class + job, ouch) several month before the 3 others jobs. Because of the adjustement to do for Ninja after, I'am sure this delayed the work for the three others and put too much work for less time than planned.
+ The event Moonfire Faire 2016 teased the number of jobs we will get for 4.0 (Yoshida said it himself)
There is no clue except the number of Posing Rangers which is 3 !
And if it's not three jobs for 4.0, it could be two for 4.0 and one for 4.1-4.2...
Anyways, I'am confident for 3 jobs for Stormblood.

As far as we know, they attempted to tweet that RDM is going to be one of the 2 new jobs for Stormblood and ended up removing that tweet. That could mean 2 things:

1) It was wrong and they didn't want to tweet false information
2) It was true and they wanted our hype to be more intense due to speculating for more than 2 jobs

If case 1 is true, we will simply get 3 or more jobs. If 2 is the case, then they are aware that 2 jobs is a negative scenario and want to make it less of a marketing point.

If we indeed get only 2 jobs, I expect them to make truly in-depth changes to existing jobs instead.

Yes, if there are truly 2 new jobs, I think this is what will happen.

The thing to see is the time player will take in DF for his role to enter in dungeons.
We know, 3 news jobs with 1 by role is the ideal case.
But if there is 1 role missing, it could be a problem.

That's why already, we couldn't have 2 new DPS, it would be insane.
But, 1 tank + 1 dps and adjustments for all others existing jobs, it could work, even if it's less than the same configuration with 1 healer added.
