Closest that comes to my mind, because I play it so much is rdm.
Something akin to rdm's meter and spending when you reach a threshold of 50 white/black for it.
Though this could be too...homogenizy for the job based on its gameplay feel.
I can see that being limited to iaijutsus for the sake of simplicity. But I don't main samurai, so I am not very much aware if there is corner cases where a kaiten was useful for non-iaijutsu weaponskills.

I do concur that it might lead to the job feeling a tad samey, which is always a tough thing in development to fix. Seen it happen in other things, such as the digital card game hearthstone, where the people working on it even from the alpha, tried their best to make sure each of the classes didn't have cards that were copypasted versions of each other with minor differences. Although as the game grew older it led to those very same kind of cards they tried to keep out becoming commonplace.

Another thing that popped in my head was merging shoha 1 & shoha 2 together via a trait. Where the upgrade for shoha would be the aoe function of shoha 2. Although with numbers as is, it would be a weird and uneven 208 potency attack. So obviously this would require a bit more specific tweakings to find a happy amount.
