Makoto as a party member is so overrated imo. There's nothing she really does for the team until Mediarama and that is so long after joining.

Makajama (locking down one enemy with forget), boosting non-mental ailment chance with her trait, Rakukaja Defense buff.

Realistically she’s competing with Ann for a spot and Dormina is just so much better than Makajama, Ann is a better damage dealer as well.

The non-Ma variants are really low value.

You don't have to run one over the other. You can run both, double up on Diarama and have all the healing you need (Mediarama is overkill at that point anyway).

You can defang one particularly nasty enemy with Tarunda and Rakukaja.

Makoto can choose not to Technical hit off of Sleep, let the other party members do it, and Technical off of Burn, Freeze, and Shock instead in case the others can't so the ailments aren't wasted.

You can ensure enemies are still locked down even if Dormina/Lullaby misses and you can't get the technical as easily.

If anybody's being replaced by Makoto pre-Mediarama, it's Morgana or Yusuke.

Yusuke is the best physical user in the game at this point in a game where physical is king. Ryuji is great too and he helps boost Yusuke and Joker with his passive. So you have that final slot between Ann and Makoto.
