First, if you're thinking about much in the future, then Rare Prisms have been severely devalued over time, making burning not worth much.

Regarding Mata Hari, she's a different bunch of things. She's really focused more on the debuffing side.

Regarding Georgios, he's a Rider. This means high star absorption, which depending on the team, can get in the way and actively make you deal less damage.

He does not necessarily that much tanks better. With D'Eon NP2, he will debuff for 20% ATK, and buff for 16%~ DEF, for 36% reduced damage taken, close to Georgios' first skill. Of course, this does mean you need the trouble of actually getting the NP bar to full.

Also, D'Eon does of course plainly loses when Georgio's NP buffs his DEF, of course, but in which case, [Sure Hit/Pierce Invul aside], D'Eon's capable of fully nullifying a single NP's worth of damage without any damage, which makes up for the gap in defense in most cases.

Also, it is always better to have a different class's leveled too. D'Eon will more or less surely do better than Georgios as a tank against Assassins and Alteregos, for example.

His NP Gen will mostly come from Arts chains, most likely.

Still, it depends on your choice of play. Star weight, as pointed out, can be managed, but it having to be managed is a downside. The slight higher attack mostly only matters if you make D'Eon actually be the damage dealer for X and Y reasons. [For fun or some other reason.]

And compared to Mashu. Well, it's Mashu, not much to say.
