will combos stand the test of time?

I hate the thought of losing cross-class functionality. IMO, that's what made the class system great, and it's being whittled away little by little.

To the OP: It is nice to see the rare occurrence of someone using the lost art of foresight. Thank you for that.

Cross-classing isn't going anywhere. Only on Jobs do you have them limited, but that's the entire point. Jobs are specializations where you become adept at doing one thing, but have to rely on other team members for support in other areas.
