The problem there is unless you already know the people they have no way to know you will pull your weight other than letting you in the group.
In which case the whole subject is moot (which was people will avoid your class in favour of others)
Without visually seeing a group is full you dont really have a way to vet if the group was full or if they blew you off for someone else.
I had no idea of these xp penalties when Kunark was first out, granted i played cleric so it didnt matter anyway. However i would of taken anyone anyway.
Like you point out a crappy pure class character will probably slow a group down in comparison to an excellent hybrid player with a penalty modifier.
I wish i could say everyone will be so open. I expect some will read 1 sentance about this whole subject and black list hybrids.
