I think the reason warriors have somehow not gotten nailed with similar stigma is that they're more or less berserkers, and for some reason berserkers are seen as something more plausible, and therefore less likely to break willing suspension of disbelief, than lancers who fly dozens if not hundreds of feet through the air. Berserkers are also more common in fantasy than high-jumpers, and since their handwaves don't typically require magic they get a pass.
Seriously, everything a warrior does is typical 'zerker. I rage hard and therefore hit harder, check. Bloodlust overtakes me and suddenly I've healthier, more robust, and can live through near-death, check. Spilling others' blood keeps me going, check. Yadda yadda yadda.
But a man takes off into the air and suddenly the question becomes, "how did he DO that" because leaping tall buildings in a single bound is Superman territory and therefore needs an explanation more than 'zerking, but when you offer "magic" as an explanation people freak out because the lore doesn't explicitly mention magic in a dragoon's case (same way I flip out about warriors potentially using aether when the lore says nothing of the sort).
EDIT: I just realized that I just said the same exact thing that Warren said on page 3. Goddamnit.
