As for STR/DEX/etc. jobs, well the different main stats are pointless, they're all copies of each other anyway. As such picking a job based on which main stat it will use also feels a tad pointless.
I'd be slightly surprised if STR/DEX/INT and MND survive (at least as they are) in to 5.0, but I guess we'll see on that.
I know they like to streamline things, but i doubt they'll dumb it down that much.
What is an RPG without stats?
