I realize all of this, but I'm saying that you might need more than one healer in the party. There are several reasons:
a) You might not want to make Jahiera play healer when she makes such a good tank
b) Jahiera might want to memorize things like Iron Skins and Summon Elemental, not healing spells
c) Sometimes, for difficult battles, you need more than one divine spellcaster. You might want Jahiera to play tank and memorize Iron Skins... but what if you need Chaotic Commands? Better to have a second cleric. But that's my opinion. Hell, you can get through the game with only one char, so what you do with your party is personal preference.

Not only that, but Aerie (or any other cleric/mage) would provide balance in this party. You'd have two half-mages, two half-clerics one half-thief, and one quasi-thief. SO, if you don't pick up Aerie (Or another cleric/mage along the way), you should consider a solid warrior class for your second PC.
