The only downside to that is the inventory space. The entire game is built around the fact that you can do everything on one character. I don't see that changing as it is a core feature of the game.
You forgot tome caps, cross-class skills, gear lockouts, etc.
FFXIV punishes you for doing everything on one character to begin with, contrary to how it's advertised. Either have one or the other, you know?
cross class skills are a reason to level everything on one character... not a punishment.
There is no punishment in doing everything on one character.
