You can also drop Fumbus's bulk by 1 through switching from Leather to Padded armor. There's no AC difference unless he bumps his DEX to 18. His alchemical items can also be doled out to his party members, rather than carrying them himself.
Looks like Paizo realized Alchemists were a bit off, and they released some great stuff for them in Fall of Plaguestone; the Alchemical Crossbow lets you turn a bomb into +1d6 energy damage to three attacks. Energy Mutagen gives energy resistances and adds energy damage to melee attacks. Stone Body Mutagen gives DR 5 against physical damage and reduces speed.
Alchemist seems tailor-made to multiclass though. Much like spellcasters, Alchemists will get much stronger with splat bloat.
