The hit rate penalty is for a non-back row compatible weapon is intentional.. in turn that reduces overall damage output.

You mean less insane/imbalanced (Sorcerors), but more appropriately challenging.
Well, there's always the classic algo in multipliers or FF1 extra damage (although, that method is borked for the most part until the Advance version AFAIK, and unfortunately doesn't scale IIRC).
Cumulative equipment could work I guess.. it seems Diablo-like, minus the cap.
