I never thought I'd say anything like this, but I can see them as a stable threesome (with the Doctor firmly in the middle and on top!). I see Jack and Rose more as BFF. I can see Jack and Nine, but only if Rose is somehow removed from the equation.
But wrapped up in this is, yes, what Jack brought to the TARDIS was some perspective. I think he ended up helping Nine start to heal as much as Rose did. I love their blokey best-mates bonding over machinery - when they're both geeking out over the "surfboard" in Boom Town, I often zip back to watch their faces because they're having such fun. And the way Nine/CE grabs the model and flips it over.
