I do think having additional companions would be fun... but bringing in people would probably be tricky. The Squadron AI, as has been noted, is... uh... not good. The Trust AI is actually pretty good, but it's also very purposeful; they have to have the mechanics for each dungeon specifically coded into them, and I doubt they'd deal well with—for instance—a special FATE or a hunt target or, really, anything in the open world.

Maybe at least allow the amaro to be a companion once you gain the mount? Either just using the existing chocobo's stats, or being stabled and trained up the same way a chocobo would.

(I shall one day have the amaro, and I shall name him Skip. For reasons.)
Honestly would be cool to be able to use the chocobo stables or even have an amaro stables for them, as well as the coloring options etc. As it stands my chocobo been rank 20 since ARR, kinda sad to see the companion system be untouched since then
