I'd leave them as they are, but the one training thing you almost have to do with smaller paries is Stealth. Even if you don't change the Lord to Rogue for a level, at least let your Monk and Ninja train it up. They should be able to do it unsupervised once they're around AC 8 or so if you do this with Seekers in the Monastery. And if you leave the Lord a Lord, the HP regen should cover end-of-range damage from them, esp if you're well armored and have a shield. You get 1 AC per 10 Stealth, but if you don't do the Lord, too, they'll be getting hit a lot less anyway, as the Lord will become an attack magnet.
