I kind of disagree that there is an ideal "class" as leader. It is purely on the individual. Also, given how the series is structured, we really only see things from Haruhiro's perspective on how his party works. So there is an overall lack of data to really support any guild as an ideal leader.

Thieves are meant to be silent but volunteer soldier thieves act more as scouts than anything else. I'm pretty sure that Haruhiro has only used his Lock Pick skill once in the 1+ year he has been on Grimgar. At least from what was revealed to the reader. Sassa was a main fighting component of the Adachi/Chibi/Sassa fight team even though she is better served sneaking around and backstabing. I would say that Nono and Sakanami act more like thieves than anyone else. And just because Haruhiro callsout to his party doesn't mean other party leaders do that. Tokimune, Akira, Rock, Soma, Renji have not. Haruhiro does it because that is what works for his party. So it isn't a thief thing or a Party Leader thing. Plus, the more experienced the party has gotten the less Haruhiro has needed to constantly direct their movements.

About Dread Knights. . . again there is the lack of data to support that Dread Knights are secondary tanks. Ranta acts like a secondary tank because his party has no one else, so he takes that role. Moyugi certainly isn't a tank. So it is more of an individual thing based on physique and fighting style. Some will be mobile like Ranta, precise like Moygui, or a full on tank.

A Hunter could but there could be a conflict of tactics. Since Hunter's scout ahead, they will be the first to encounter the enemy. They could die, and then the party would be leaderless. But sticking to ranged combat would enable them to keep distance and keep track of the party to callout any change in tactics. Though if the party is experienced then calling out would be unnecessary.

A priest could work since they should be in the center or back of the party. But again, it really depends on how the party operates. Like it would work great for Haruhiro's party, but wouldn't for Typhoon Rocks or Tokkis.

Personally, since the story is focused on Haruhiro's party and his perspective, we are limited in how other parties operate and if there is a significant difference based on class.
