There is a lot more wiggle room for things like paladins, warriors, and bards where the quests explicitly show many people getting taught a the job skills. Â (not sure what the monk quest is like, but if it's another "Person is trying to teach a bunch of students the lost art" deal then it can get included here too.) Â Summoner kind of has wiggle room too because its story quest references that a BUNCH of summoners have been hunted and killed at some point - which means you're definitely not the only one. (Not to mention the enemy you face off against is also a Summoner)
For Monk, what I seem to remember is that there's a mention of several survivors who is out in the world teaching parts of the art, but that most of it was lost thanks to our all-time favorite king of ruin. So it is possible with the restriction that one won't ever become as strong as say, a fist of Rhalgr, because of the amount of stuff that's been lost. And in this, it would then not be possible to unlock all of the chakra gates, and those that one would manage to open is down to the self-discovery route.Â
It's still a bit shaky for what it's worth, but I have seen it be done in good ways that didn't set fire to all of the lore at once - I guess the best way to look at it is simply as a pugilist with more insight because they may have been lucky to find someone who knew something.Â
There's also a slight risk I'm remembering entirely wrong, I'll have to figure out the source of it.
