Odin's last limit break gives a special bonus to your party if you have both light and dark characters. That extra bonus is 30% ATK UP and 3% DAUP along with his 75% ATK UP and 15% HP UP.
Furthermore, it is the only combination where having a off element character isn't that detrimental, but only for a dark team (using Ferry or Amira is enough to benefit from Odin's special effect in a dark team without gimping your overall team too much). Light team cannot exactly benefit from using a dark character to trigger Odin's special bonus because there isn't really any dark support character that can make up for the damage output loss.
Double odin setup is actually more powerful than having a regular dark team with double Bahamut.

I assume the severity you're referring to is one way or another related to weapons here?

Mostly weapon setup, because you must have 3 different elements in your active party (does not count sub members). As result, you have to make up for the damage loss as 2 of your characters will not benefit from your weapon configuration (and no, trying to split your weapon skills into 3 elements will yield a worse result than having a monoelement setup).
Grande setup are potentially stronger than monoelement thanks to the huge modifier and possibility of using very strong character combinations, but if your weapon setup doesn't give enough punch for your main character and the other char of the same element, you will perform worse than a monoelement team.

Recently found out that apparently weapons that correspond to the character's weapon affinity give +20% more stats. Ugh. Yey for complications.

Weapon affinity isn't exactly something to worry about except for your main character. Generally speaking, characters must be considered for their abilities and skills.
For instance, Fire shouldn't forsake Percival just because his affinity is Swords as a classic fire weapon setup would be filled with mainly Colossus staves.
