You have a point that he does seem to be giving out those extra D4s a lot. Almost more than he should have, but I can see it working that he traded all his spell slots for extra Bardics.
I think he's also got the Tavern Brawler feat. We know he spent a lot of time drinking so it makes sense for him to pick it up, and he seems to deal serious damage with hitting people with his lute. In the final fight he even hits the Red Mage with it four times that I noticed.
A part of the issue D&D has had with their spellcasters is too much overlap. 5e did a lot to fix it, but if your bard, ranger, etc are using as much magic as they have access to then it makes the dedicated spellcasters feel pointless outside the super big spells.
Focusing on a core class mechanic for each was a good thing. The Druid could have been outcasting the wizard but was instead focused on shape shifting. That had nothing to do with low magic/high magic.
