There are a lot of healers or characters capable of healing among the companions. Two dedicated full divine casters too. Three dedicated longbow archers (though one can be switched to short bow easily, another can be switched to throwing axes, and two of them are mutually exclusive as in you have to pick one of them to accompany you).
I’m still running Eldritch Archer with the two archers still in my party. Especially since my main party would be lacking an arcane caster otherwise. Archer supremacy!
