The penalty is a real game-salter in green, my playtime is precious and I'm not sure if I can stomach the steep penalty of a hybrid or bard...

Fake news. please don't buy into this. A hybrid tank in a group will level <~6% slower than a SK/paladin in the same group, depending on the group comp (how many hybrids / mages / monks / races / level discrpencies). And you will be better at your job (holding aggro, pulling with lull/fd, etc)
As a tank you are not going to be soloing.. really ever, so you will never be subject to leveling 29% slower (it's 29% slower, not 40% slower,... 1/1.4). That 29% is watered down by the rest of the group... If the rest have a 0% exp penalty, you level 6.2% slower. if there are other penalties (surely there will be, at least 1 caster + other hybrids/monks), you effect is lower.
Ignore the people saying that hybrid exp penalty is the end of the world. Play the tank class you want.
