The system already exists, why doesn't the jumping job have access to it?
Why does the job that has SSS and Meditate have this instead?

Shukuchi is useless on controller, the time it takes to aim it and then use it, even the animation takes longer than any other gap closer, and comes with animation lock that no other gap closer has. You can't use it in battle, it will obliterate your rotation.
I think a compromise could be met halfway if Elusive Jump was a forward dash instead of a backstep. Could be used as easily as DNC's En Avant and it spares controller users the pain of having to turn around to use it first, plus since it doesn't do damage it'd be far more available than Spineshatter. Better than having more oGCD damage filler clutter on DRG with another gap-closer charge if you ask me.
