With respect to Botanists, maintenance access is useful both for space fungus and in order to access certain locales, like the catering pod bay on some maps, more easily. I guess neither ranchers nor botanists need this degree of access, but it can make their lives easier. (It also makes them much more liable to dying horribly in maintenance, and who doesn't love that?)
I can't personally say I've experienced much of a problem with maintenance access, although I admittedly stick to playing two roles at most, and I don't have any experience with the game's low-population maps. I guess it is a bit weird that Staff Assistants get it, if you're thinking of them as people who are supposed to be getting people with "real jobs" coffee and lending a helping-hand. But I'd be fine with staffies keeping their maintenance access and just increasing parity in what having maintenance access means between maps.
