The only justification for that class makeup would be that they are playing the classes they like at the cost of efficiency and they are aware of it-- at which point any other choice would be the wrong one.
It's not a good combo but it's not completely terrible. If the monk can single pull even a little, their bard is good, and their melees wiggle into some decent gear the group will bump along satisfactorily until around 45 when mob HP goes nuts.
Unfortunately their reasoning seems misguided- a wizard because they are worried about somebody having responsibility? Having a lackluster combo is going to give every member more responsibility than if you just pick efficient classes and play them badly.

This, for instance, is just flat-out, objectively wrong.

Don't forget the bard isn't geared in full cultural or even lambent, more than likely. They don't have an ubertwinked fungi monk dps etc. Remember, druids are still using a 300 point heal all through the 30's, 40's and early 50's. Shamans too but at least they have canni and slows to make the situation halfway efficient. Especially in the later range, the bard IS going to have agro and he IS going to be taking major damage, and it's going to OOM the druid quickly.
