Well, I am definitely in agreement that these arcs have value. The scenarios you describe definitely seem consistent with the seedy underbelly of Eorzea that we glimpse in some sidequests and incidental text, so there is certainly a place for them.
It can be tricky to RP I suppose, though in all honesty I don't believe I've done an arc that had such a dismal finish. Personally I am more disposed to the 'whatever happens, happens' camp, but with a little research people can find out whether or not one is into heavy RP. That alone should act as a disclaimer of a sort, help people to build the arcs they want with who they want, if that's how they like to do it.
Great growth often comes from failure. Disappointment is a natural outflow from having expectations or goals, and provides characters with learning experiences. For players who want to risk those times of misfortune, I think the upshot could be very satisfying.
