The two points you made are valid and intelligible.
If it's about mitigating the swelling: creating another monster is not a fix. I do deem the concern you allude to doesn't end the case for balance outright: it makes us mindful, precisely. The conversation itself is still productive albeit limited to being more of a brainstorming discussion for improvements in 2k18 should the archetypes return.
