If you dump everything into MND, you'll be "gimping" yourself pre-30, before you unlock Scholar.
If you dump first 30 levels worth of stat points into INT because it benefits Arcanist, you can't max out MND as Scholar.

Proposed solution: Give Arcanist Cleric Stance as well. SE, please consider this.
The unintended consequence: 100% of arcanists will put all of their points into MND, and use Cleric Stance in order to get the +10% damage bonus on top of it.
