TA is strong, but Disembowel gives ~300 DPS for 1 ranged, and ~600 DPS for 2. The benefits of Disembowel over TA is more if you have double-ranged. And TA is not as beneficial to casters compared to physical jobs because they do not have autos to also benefit for the duration (and the same applies for Litany).

TA is good, but the physical meta is held together by piercing. It was the case in Creator, and it is still the case now. Triple melee only works because MNK was buffed. It wasn’t really viable during Deltascape, but it can be for certain floors of Sigmascape (V7S you probably do not want triple melee because of the Ink and Chakras—someone has to disengage between the melee DPS and the tanks—it’s not impossible, but someone is going to be losing uptime).
