The FAQ for PFS states that poisons are only "always available" (a select list of them, that is), for those with Poison Use. The Grenadier archetype loses that class feature. I'm assuming this means that they can't buy poisons unless they come from a chronicle sheet? Also, alchemists are noted to be able to use their craft(alchemy) to craft poisons. Is it true that they could only craft poisons that are "always available" and thus a grenadier could not craft the poisons either?

I think that is the intention, but those FAQs often don't deal with the specifics of certain archetypes. In any case, even with the poison use class feature, you would only be allowed to craft the poisons mentioned in the FAQ.
And btw if you have a specific question regarding certain FAQ entries, it is generally a good idea to provide a link.

My take, as a person who has played 2 grenadiers (one multi classed and one single) is they can't get it. (So I haven't)
That being said, I have seen ZERO loss of utility. Poisons typically tend to be more expensive that the other alchemical items of similar impact For a comparable DC poison (DC 15) I have to pay more and typically get what.. 3 rounds of use? Of course with Alchemy and some items and/or discoveries you get a lot more utility out of them.
Of course I've only seen one poison user in my area as is.. and a lot of bad luck on his part ended that really quick.
