Go through the crossbar setting and enable the expanded crossbars, this gives you easy access to other crossbars via pressing L2 > R2 and R2 > L2 (each can take you to half a crossbar) which can expand the buttons to 32, if you also enable W Crossbars, you can double tap L2 or R2 for another 16 for a total of 48 without having to swap your front bars.

Whilst you can have the W crossbars showing, you cannot have the expanded bars showing, however, by making use of a jobs unique buffs/mechanics, you can know when you can use something. For example for Ninja, you can only use the Raijus when you have the Raiju Ready buff, which is obtained after Raiton and since they are GCD based, as long as you can see a GCD action on the front bar, you know when you can use them.

For Red Mage, my Melee combo is on the expanded bar, I know when I can use it (50/50 minimum) so I don't need to keep track of the button itself.

If you do need to keep track of something, you can always setup a hotbar somewhere and place the action there as well as on your crossbar. It will behave exact same way, so you can keep track that way.

I never hard swap between crossbars and pretty much limit most of my actions to the 32 provided by the expanded crossbars.
