I feel like the inclusion of the Eldritch Knight (fighter) and Blade Singer (wizard) have really narrowed the design space (thematically and mechanically) for a generic arcane gish class. If those two subclasses weren’t a thing, it’d be an easier nut to crack.
Edit: the Paladin’s spell slot powered smite also takes away a potential niche for the arcane gish.
