I would like to say though that this isn't the only way that jedi interact with clones though (or even other jedi). A guardian branch jedi can still sit on the frontline as a battlefield tank utilizing force power and deflection for oncoming fire while the troopers behind them light up the droids shooting at them. A sage branch jedi can use DS to take out specific NPCs holding an awkward chokepoint for the clones to breakthrough. If a sith/saber event job appears, the jedi will usually take over the forward fighting while clones pull back to either let them fight or offering careful fire to support the jedi. This isn't saying anything of more specific and GM based situations such as jedi helping contain infected individuals with whirlwind, trying to undo forced based trauma/brainwashing on a clone, clones covering (some) jedi weakness against mandalorians with flamers, etc.
I do agree this would probably be a change for the worse though. As a new player with standard loadout, they might feel like they are doing inconsequential or irrelevant damage while getting lit up in a few moments only to fall back, heal, push up again and repeat the process. It would kind of make the change redundant at that point.
