I'm not saying they should do this or that I even want this. Just wonder how much dev time it would take them to do this, or if it would save time in the future by having them one item instead of 2.
Well no one but the devs can say for sure how much development effort would be. But making it possible to buy a sword and shield with the same token was not a trivial effort and took a while.

The main drawback - say goodbye to ever being able to glam different swords and shields when they're not a set. Not to mention some swords don't have a pairing shield (and vice versa), so you'd probably lose those entirely - as white mage lost the ability to glamor offhands.
