I've said this before but it's important enough to repeat -- we need to be able to put together an entirely good party and we need have as many companions in BG3 as we did in BG2.

I want people who love monks to get a monk in the game but I'll never use them. I just hate that class. It has always seemed out of place in the setting and I just don't enjoy the class mechanics.

Likewise, I do like bards but it will be hard to put a bard into 4 person party.
