A good spinner is a good spinner regardless of his style of bowling. A quality SLA is definitely better than an ordinary leggie or offie. I do not think our SLA strength is preventing anyone to become a quality leggie or offie. A leggie or offie who bowls right-handed is very unlikely to change bowling arm to become SLA.
And each SLA's are different than the others. Good bowlers can not be a burden.

Some teams have several Right Arm fast. Is that a burden to those teams? no. As long as they can get wickets everything else becomes immaterial.
