I agree with your assessment that one driver can't do it all. Helping on the extreme ends doesn't take away from the single driver sound, it just augments it and makes it better. My own vintage EV's, in open baffles, cover the range from 80 Hz to around 11 kHz, and I consider these "fullrange" drivers (they can go down to 55 Hz in the right box). I use a sub and tweeter to extend that last little bit on each end. This has less compromises then expecting any one driver to be able to do it all.
I think the majority of fullrange driver users wse either a sub or super tweeter, or both, to augment the extremes.
