No so much worried about "uberbuffing"; you nailed that one square. More concerned about the adept's high flexibility potentially leading to "I can do that too!" whenever a problem needs solving. Hence the invocation of the social contract.
On the up side, a well-played adept can cover for character types not represented in the PC group.
