I don't know, would it hurt to have one person on the team only interested in pulling tasks and banging out code? They rest of the team could use the extra time to deepen their knowledge of the business.

Given the expense that goes into hiring, on-boarding, and off-boarding employees, yes having to do that more than once a year can hurt. If it's fine, they should be contractors, not employees.
