As far as other classes are considered, I doubt this going to happen, and also think additional doomsaying and "It could happen to you!" also falls in the range of counterproductive comments.
Many classes are already in DRG's current state, or ambiguously close to it (WHM, BLM, SMN, etc), and those that currently aren't would require Squeenix to overwrite actual game content (the entire MNK and PLD storylines, for instance) in order for a retcon to take place, which (arguably barring some portions of 1.0) has never happened, and would be far too messy in practice.
Ambiguous classes (which DRG honestly always was, and I say this as a factual statement and not as a declaration of whether or not I am on a certain side) are of course barred from this, and could have their lore switched and / or solidified at any time. BLM was placed in the same instance when Heavensward launched, because it too was in a position of ambiguity.
Honestly, many of the Jobs were at the time. It's just that for some, things opened up, and for some, things didn't. But for those that are currently solid, I doubt there will be additional fiddling that affects backstory. Current events, however? Very likely.
