as for cross class abilities (which I rather not count since we should just a class by its own merit not by what it borrows from others) sure you'll probably have access to more though I think with the limitation of 30 skills on the action bar you'll eventually hit a roof and it'll be more about the quality of skills, and I think jobs will come on top in that category.
You can't not count cross class abilities... that is one of the biggest draws of using classes over jobs. Otherwise its like saying a thm is a blm but without the blm spells, which is completely wrong.

The math would actually be:
With the 50 cap-

Classes have 15 innate abilities, 10 cross class abilities totaling up to 25 abilities.

Jobs have 15 innate abilities, 5 cross class abilities, 5 job abilities totaling up to 25 abilities.

With a 75 cap (Assuming its one more ability every 5 levels for jobs and classes do not get anything)-

Classes would stay the same.

Jobs would have 15 innate, 5 cross class, 10 job totaling up to 30 abilities.

As for the 30 ability limit, there is no evidence that the limit will still exist in 2.0. Considering a level cap increase won't happen pre-2.0, I don't think we even need to acknowledge the limit in discussions.
