From some descriptions, I can glean that caster party members feel like the encounters would be cleared just fine without them, and if they just rolled a Fighter or a Champion, they'd be of more help than they are now. That's a major and persistent complaint for 3e/PF1e/5e, except it usually worked the other way around with Fighters being better off replaced by mages.
