It's reasonable enough in the setting. That said? You risk having your concept exploded or otherwise meddled with in the event BLU happens canonically. XIV has already proven they don't mind sticking iconic jobs behind exclusive lore (think Dragoons and Dark Knights being so intrinsic to Ishgard's culture, or White Magic/Black Magic being so hamstrung with limitations on who can use them) and there's a greater-than-zero chance that your character could suddenly find itself being impossible (or just highly improbable).
Like others have mentioned, sit tight for now! We'll know in February what other job we'll be getting and you might not have to make it up.
being the impatient bastard I am, I'll probably work on it then if BLU comes out just do a quick change of things as I doubt I'll get too deep that I can't retcon a little bit if it DOES come out next month.
Yeah, I think this is a good approach! Start toying with the idea and building your character, but be flexible in case they do reveal it, since we don't know the lore fluff of how it would work. In the event it DOESN'T come out, you'll have some ideas and direction to work with.
