Like Cherche, Donnel has great growths but that's all that's going for him as a unit. His class options and pool of available skills are too limited for him to keep up by the end. He has Mercenary which does let him promote to Hero, a very solid class, but he can't get Swordfaire or Axefaire because of no Berserker or Swordmaster.
Lords have Rapiers, Aether, and Rightful King. Donnel might cap his stats sooner, but in a game where it's possible to cap everyone's stats with infinite EXP and resources from grinding, that's not much going for him. However, not many units can get Aether and/or Rightful King.

Actually, they do. Fighter/Warrior is designed to have high HP and low defenses. Counter fits them perfectly.

Besides bows are a second armament for situational use (i.e Wyvens, Peg Knights and Dragons etc) much like with Warrior, so their not bad in that case.

No one cares about balance. What people want are specialized classes that are either powerhouses or tanks. There is a reason why Assassins are preferred over Tricksters despite Tricksters having staff utility.
But then even if you did want a strong jack of all trades class, the Avatar and Morgan can still do it better with Grandmaster because tomes are far more powerful than bows in this game.
Also, mounted units are not necessarily a blessing in this game. Unlike previous ones where they either had Canto or the innate ability to use their remaining Move after an attack before their turn ends, they have nothing in this game. There is also an abundance of Beast Killers.
