I think you're oversimplifying. The Excelsior wasn't the big dog for very long, but it persisted for decades as a reliable workhorse. And let's be real here, most missions don't need a big dog, they need a reliable workhorse.



I fail to see why the Ambassador couldn't also be a workhorse. We saw other Constitution classes in TOS, they didn't make the Enterprise less special. We saw other Galaxy classes, they didn't make the E-D less special.



Furthermore, you can't throw out entire fleets and replace them with ships with more firepower or warp capability. Technology advances too fast to be able to do that.
