Probably they won't, because "proper pets" are really conceptually tied to a system that XIV's code can't technically support at the moment. It would work if they had plans to make improvements to their code (it would also probably make things better across the board for other jobs) but I'm not holding my breath.

I don't know what they have in mind, hence Yoshi-P's saying they can't reveal yet. We'll probably get it on Fanfest next week, but it's pretty much guaranteed that its gonna be different than it is now.

Regarding them turning into "bard songs" I don't think they would follow exactly that route. My personal prediction is focusing just in 3 or 4 trances with the summoned creature appearing at the end, behaving like the Automaton Queen.
