Except that during the 2nd round you'd have 40 Chakra points. Meaning that if one of your other 3 ninjas Mystery only consumes 20 Chakra points, then you'd be able to use that along with "Dance of Impertus" or "Regenerative Healing Jutsu". And if you have a ninja that gives extra Chakra points every round, you'd be able to use a Mystery that consumes 40 Chakra points along with them. So see, there's nothing wrong with those 2 Mysteries needing just 20 Chakra points.

Without chakra generator, what's the point of using a 20 chakra mystery, dance just so you c*e it again along with say a 40 chakra mystery next turn as opposed to using a 40 then either 40+20 or a 60?
Generally speaking, 2 40s and a 20 OR a 40 and a 60 is more powerful than 2 20s and a 40.
And if you are saying that it's beneficial as the 20 is in move 1 so you can have a move 1 init on round 2 and 3, I'll counter that wind main have rasengan that can do that too if placed in move 1, and 2x rasengan plus a 20 chakra mystery is probably stronger than 2 20s and a 40.

similar argument applies to cases where you do have chakra generator (on a side note, there is no such thing as a safe&reliable chakra generator, the fact that you are using one places you at some risk if you depend on it). I don't need to recast a "above-par-for-its-cost" jutsu a second time if I can cast a "par" jutsu next round and use the extra chakra to cast an extra jutsu (or higher cost one) to make up for it.

In any case, the point of the dance is to be able to cast lots of mysteries(that are good), reset and be able to cast them again either on that turn or the very next turn so that the reset actually MATTERS. If you cannot recast soon after, the reset is effectively wasted as the cd would have ticked down anyway. So chain/multi casting is absolutely essential to the effectiveness of dance, which chakra cost significantly negatively impacts (Especially in the current blitz meta. If the game actually have a 6-8 round meta such that chakra is more abundant, it's a different matter. But right now, the most important rounds are 1-3, where chakra is scarce, so every drop counts)

PS. like I said, water count was only slightly below par for top 30 only, thou frankly the reason that water setup is most memorable is because almost every water uses it, whereas there are far more variety for other mains (even lightning have an armor team and a RoW-Chidori team being most popular), so they aren't as frequent as you might think. You have also completely failed to respond to the fact that Breeze is the rarest main in higher rankings, which was the more important bit of that point. As it were, it's easy to find similar mystery to that of the water main's heal, so it's easier to rationalize why it is the way it is. Dance, however, is very unique and very hard to explain, so I had to pull the "wind don't need nerf" card on you by showing you that it is disadvantaged.
