Essentially this is what we'll likely get,
I fully agree that we are unlikely to see a character development system which would place hard limits on allowed character builds. Which is more than most games can say.
However, whether anything else than a limited number of "pure" builds (as determined by the developers) will actually be viable in competitive gameplay is likely to be ultimately determined by how much synergy will be built into those pure builds (via class feats, dedication bonuses and general skill synergy).
I'm actually all for dedication.
I wouldn't mind solid and fixed classes, as long as there was some wiggle room within those classes...
That being said, with the idea of turning these slots into regular class-based slots, it could sitll be viable, because while someone goes Full Wizard and gets 4 slots at that level available in Wiz spells, someone else can go half Wiz/half Cleric, and get 2 Cleric and 2 Wizard slots at that same level. Make both builds reasonably viable.

Solid and fixed classes are a pox upon the MMO landscape! Though I could see it fitting with the Pathfinder IP a bit better than some other properties... (Again, something I really feel has moved backwards over time in the MMO space. My first two MMOs were non-classed.)
