Honestly, I've had many monks be my group's tank almost as often as a plate wearing class. Seems to work fine.
I still don't think there are as many warriors as one would imagine, but I think that comes down to the class being so 'vanilla' i.e. few abilities.
I do think that people are a bit too choosy when it comes to searching out classes for groups. You simply don't need a 'plate tank, cleric and enchanter' in every group yet tons of people think all 3 of those classes are necessary for a group to function at all. People really underestimate how effective 'non-standard' group compositions can really be.
