No it isn't a direct correlation.
Classes could be incredibly imbalanced and there could be no diversity at all. Such as a game with classes named "Warrior", "Fighter", "Brawler", "Knight" that all do exactly the same thing, just with different skill names, but Warrior hits for 500 and Fighter hits for 400 and Brawler hits for 300, etc.
That's actually how melee fighting works in Everquest. You just auto-attack and click on your "kick" buttons when they refresh and the amount of damage you do is solely dependent on your class (aside from gear, of course).
Imbalance has nothing to do with diversity. Everquest could be far more balanced AND have far more diversity at the same time.

EQ definitely was decent on diversity but pretty poor on balance

The people who invented the first space ships were brilliant. That doesn't mean anybody should actually want to use them 200 years later. Ideas are limited by means of execution. Everquest has amazing ideas that need to be completely reworked in their execution, in order for classic Everquest as it was envisioned to actually exist and continue to be relevant as things have evolved.
