I think that's pretty much the thing that would fix any complains about the 'very meaningful' unlocks: make them account-wide unlocks. People who are levelling alts are seeing the exact same storyline anyway, so they won't get the same feeling of achievement they did when first unlocking chocobos or whatever.
Personally, though, I wouldn't say that some of these unlocks make the journey more meaningful. You wouldn't need to unlock airships if the game wasn't designed to have the players level up in every area of the world. Dyes aren't a reward for your hard work as much as they are a fetch quest placed on an arbitrary level. It feels less like the game is saying "Now that you are level 15, you have unlocked the right to not look like a clown all the time!" They could have very well put a version of that same quest on every starting city at level 1 and it would be just as meaningful/meaningless.
Then again, if the unlocks were account wide, nobody in their right mind would complain.
