I would say that removing it from canon is a stretch, you can't decide to take something that is legitimately existing in the settings from others and say they can't do it anymore or that your character will not acknowledge them doing it. But you are very free to not use IC.
Travel, no matter the speed, should always be taken seriously. Clothes need to be changed, you need to inform yourself on the weather of where you are about to go, consider the time to get there (especially in teleportation, sudden thermal drops or jumps could make you ill), and how long you will be staying, and where to stay as well. It needs a lot of thought, whether you teleport or not.
So a group in Ishgard that suddenly decides to go to the beach? Eh, okay, I wouldn't but you can, but take some time to prepare for travel, and also prepare for inconveniences that could not allow you to come back home as soon as you wanted.
In 1.0 aether teleport was a lot stricter (I think only IC Grand Company members could use it, or something of the sort). Now it's not, and everyone can do it.. to remove it from canon sounds like really too much.

To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
"What makes a strong character is how they deal with their flaws, their fears, their turmoils, their troubles that get in the way. That's what makes them relatable." -- N.C.
