One thought that I've had while reading this thread is that, if the argument of the OP was that Xanathar's Guide was full of overpowered options, how does he explain the heavily nerfed fighter options that were presented?
I was excited for the original UA Samurai, and intrigued by the Cavalier being mixed with the Knight, but both got nerfed into the ground by the time the book was printed by putting all of their resources into Long Rest mechanics.
Then there are plenty middle of the road options, like the Zealot and Ancestor Barbarian and the various monks and rangers.
This is more of mixed bag than just warlock cheese and a single healing spell
