I mean, realistically any ninja ought to know at least one jutsu of every type (e.g. long/mid/short range, utilities, defensive, dodge, subversion, interrogation) but it's clear from someone like Itachi that knowing all 3 is OP as hell.

There are also some ninja like gaara and oonoki that rely on ninjutsu alone and its still cool but most times ninjutsu reliant ninja are quite boring. Of course taijutsu alone is cool too. Yea but that's because Gaara uses actual sand in combination with a very specific way of fighting (hence the "specific ninjutsu" characterization), same for Ohnoki.

Taijutsu is cool but shouldn't be overdone (e.g. Lee's entire style is about Taijutsu, but having 3 Lee's would be boring.) I mostly prefer the mixture. Ninjutsu specialists like Naruto are honestly quite boring (IE Kurama mode naruto, PS Sasuke). I honestly like the Boruto movie versions of Naruto and Sasuke better, especially Sasuke.
