It'd be convoluted, but maybe doable.
The problem there is that, because FFXIV's writers want to make sure everyone picks up what they're putting down, they'd have to make the quests Taynor is in required for the content that then picks that up. And given Taynor is in the all-roles quest, you've suddenly mandated that everyone has to level a tank, healer, caster, and physical DPS to at least level 80.
