To be fair, his Semblance hasn't actually been fully revealed yet. With how much it's been hinted at, it's possible that his Semblance is powerful enough to make up for his lack of combat skill.

As for whether he's "destined" for anything, it's been strongly implied that Jaune has a lot of raw potential that has yet to be tapped, so anything's possible at this point.
