This isn't entirely viable. Yes, extremely tuned content may favor certain classes, but to be impossible with a specific class is beyond imbalanced.

The bigger issue is gear. Even if I have a PLD and WAR at level 50 (I don't), I would still have a big disadvantage for one or the other in gear. I picked up my Baruva +1 the other day on my WAR. For my PLD getting my Relic +1 would mean another 3 weeks of farming, meaning I'm essentially 3 weeks behind because of my class choice.

Swapping between the classes is good and all, but it's not 100% viable with the current mythology cap.
