Apparitions are sort of like Patrons, where they are light enough in text yet valuable enough that they can probably slot in one or two a book. They are a little more bulkier than average but I wouldn't think that they are that complex to kitbash together, no more than Wizard Schools (which we've been getting at a surprising decent pace, shitty as that mechanic have became). I'd be shock if there's no Dragon Apparition in LO: Draconic Codex for example.
Animist doesn't really NEED more, god no. Witch is kinda ridiculous with how it seemed to get something EVERY book, I think it is easier to count the books it didn't. But I don't think it is going to be something like Thaumaturge or Psychic where it just gets...nothing.

Caster powercreep definitely exists, way more than people give credit to. It's easy to repeat the Only Six Good Spells trite, but there are a good amount of options casters get all the time beyond spells and recent classes have been stepping on some toes. Sorcerers getting Propelling Sorcery, Witch's glut of content, Animist's existence, it isn't just good spells that are added but how some classes just lack modern options, even post-Remaster. So the powercreep in that space is more egregious than not, more warrant discussion and notoriety.
In regards to martials, it really isn't a matter of quantity, so much as how martial design been a little stagnant over time. Most good martial options tend to be only good on crit, leaving it the realm of Fighter 9 times out of 10 (Crushing Rune, Phantasmal Doorknob, Eldritch Archer buffs, etc.) . And most martials just tend to be good enough a class that they don't really need support all too often beyond Archetypes. So it's not as interesting to gab about unless it is something blatantly ridiculous.
plus most martial support tends to be in the way of magic items and magic item design have been fucking miserable since the start so...
