RP what job you want. If the game makes it possible, then it respects the lore. It's not more lore-breaking than choosing to be a Garlean or a Padjal or whatever else the game does not provide as an option.
The only golden rule is do not flaunt it, do not make it the sole focus of your RP. "I'm a summoner and..." "See, us summoners..." "That is why as a summoner..." over and over and over in your RP lines will make people irked, but otherwise, no one will give a damn at what class you're RPing, and I say this as a year-long WHM RPer who has never encountered an arched eyebrow so far.

To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
"What makes a strong character is how they deal with their flaws, their fears, their turmoils, their troubles that get in the way. That's what makes them relatable." -- N.C.
