I don't think anyone has suggested a mass exodus from Balmung and been taken seriously.
The greatest threat to the long-term health of the RP community in FFXIV is disorganization and fragmentation across numerous servers. Server choice should not be an artificial limitation that constricts who and how you can roleplay. Unfortunately, on smaller servers, RPers do not enjoy the same breadth of choice in terms of in-character content and styles of roleplay.
It is critical that RPers stick together and form as large of a community as possible. This creates greater RP opportunities and a more meaningful community.
EDIT: On topic, my vote is for Mateus. It's the only server of the current option I've seen that's got a decent sized community and has actually put in the work to advertise and be seen.
