Even in Void Ark, one tank grabs the tree, the other grabs the puppy, and the last one hits DPS stance unless one of the other tanks dies.
None of this applies to 8-player content where the 2 tanks is all you ever had and you don't have other parties picking up your party's slack. And that's before we get to 'easier content' like A9 where if you remove the OT mechanic you might as well scrap the fight because that's all the mechanics you have in there, the add management, and you need the OT for that.
