I think the key problem in communication here is that you don't take into account that your main chars can trade talents for 10 Ability points / 2 Attribute points. So using Head Start competes with increasing the SPD of my char by 2 points.
When you are suggesting casters should put Armour Specialist to level 5 so that they can wear heavy armor, why shouldn't meele chars take Witchcraft for Leech? Even low int chars can make good use of Oath, Bloodletting (for Leech), Blind and to a lesser extend Absorb the Elements (int 9 for 100% chance).
