Levitation has been in since ARENA... so if the Creation Engine can handle open cities, it should be in.
And the reason you don't see the Jump spell used all the time is because most mages see it as a prank/submission for the "Darwin Awards". Everyone who casts it seems to forget Slow Fall (another TES staple). I sorta want them to bring back Passwall... but that would be just silly.
Such mobility spells are for exploration AND valid for escape. Rather than ban the spells, countermeasures should be implemented into the AI.
You are a pretty easy target flying around.
No encounter in the Elder Scrolls games are mandatory, except for those that require you to kill everyone involved. Then, JUMP isn't broken because it can't kill them.
