removing it Making it "cost gauge" makes no sense considering could be just I don't know add that same ability to OGCD heal, instead of removing clemency in it's current form you could easily remove something like Shield bash, or make req turn into confit (so many other ways) to make space without removing clemency but adding in another skill. That's a better compromise as PLD can both have strong OGCD healing (for a tank) and current clemency for a consistent way to heal/save allies even if it's "not optimal"

Clemency isn't meant to be a tanking CD replacement, it's meant to be a niche backup tool and that's fine it's actually a really useful ability in progression and yes it's like complaining about why red mage vercure isn't a amazing ability, it's really not meant to be a optiomal ability, theirs also Other content then raiding content such as Solo content where yes clemency is beyond useful.
And I just don't agree with you. Clemancy is most definitely not useful until the situation is so dire that when it is useful, it's only "okay." I'd much rather it be useful 100% of the time than maybe 1% of the time.

And I don't think its solo/other content uses should outweigh its use in relevant content. Relevant content must always come first. Clemancy's current iteration fails to fulfill the class fantasy and job identity of PLD. Intervention's EW upgrade helped a lot in this regard, now do the same for Clemancy.

I agree Shield Bash (and Cover) needs to be addressed too, but Clemancy is a far higher priority.

And yes I complain about Vercure too, but Vercure is much less bad than Clemancy.
