In other words, does Combinator really have to be a template?
No it doesn't. But any Combinator has to combine Codomain values.
I feel that this is expressed more precisely in definition (3).
I disagree.  If I am not writing generic code,

struct myCombiner {
    ... operator()(...) const { ... }
};

should be perfectly fine.

Also, polymorphic function objects should be okay:

struct myCombiner {
    template<class Codomain>
    ... operator()(...) const {... ]
};
