I'm an advocate for playing classes over jobs. I see jobs as mere specializations, not objectively superior. Every sword user in RP seems to be a free paladin (lorefriendly version of playing PLD), which to me is a bit odd. Kale's 20 year experience as an Ul'dahn soldier is going to crush any 21 y/o waving around the free paladin title IMO, though I always leave RP PvP to rolls.
You also don't need to look any further than the major NPCs as examples of masters of their class. Raubahn is arguably the strongest disciple of war in the realm, and isn't a PLD or DRK. Y'shtola isn't a WHM, and Thancred not a NIN.
