Truthfully, I don't think it's so implausible (well, within the parameters of the games) that Garrus and Tali are available to join Shepard on the Normandy while Jack isn't. Garrus' chief value to the turians is his knowledge about the Reapers. That's why he was assigned the position of consultant on the matter. He's not a front line soldier, so he doesn't need to be physically there on Palaven or Menae to assist with the turian war effort. Not when you consider the sort of communications technology that exists in the games' setting, which should make things like advising the turian leaders on how to approach a given situation fairly simple. Moreover, considering his
Primarch also joins you on the Normandy for a good stretch of the game, and then assigns Garrus to coordinate the turians' effort to help the Alliance, I don't think it's so illogical for Garrus to follow Shepard and (most importantly) Victus up on the ship.
As for Tali, both she and the admirals make it pretty clear that her rank as admiral is only a formality granted because they need her expertise on the geth, whom the quarians are now at war with. It's like Garrus' thing, an advisory position that is largely situational. Once that situation (i.e., the war with the geth) is resolved, they don't need for her to stick around. I sincerely doubt her being granted admirality is something that would occur under normal circumstances, considering 1) Tali's still a kid (when you first talk to her, she tells you she's too young to be considered a "true" admiral) and 2) the fact that she remains "Tali'Zorah vas Normandy" even if you don't get her exiled. When you take into account how much value quarians place on the ship-community that each of them belongs to, as well as the bond they share with their captain, I think it's natural that, once the matter with the geth is resolved, they would let her join Shepard on the Normandy again.
Jack, on the other hand, is an Alliance soldier. So are her kids. They're not executives or advisors or generals or what have you, they're grunts. People who join and face other people in the battlefield. So they're fighting on the ground (whether it's in a support capacity or not doesn't really affect things; either way, it's still ground deployment) because that's what the Alliance wants them to do, and considering how powerful Jack is and the potential that some of her kids seem to exhibit, that is likely the place where they would be most effective (and it's also probably not a responsibility that any of them could wiggle out of, at least not without the risk of court martial).
Granted, considering that Shepard appears to be promoted to "Comander of Everything" at the start of ME3, it's likely that he could easily just have the Alliance reassign Jack to the Normandy. But that dovetails back to the argument about whether Jack would ever leave her kids, which I honestly don't think she would. The kids could come on the Normandy too, I suppose, but by that point it would just start to become a waste of biotic power that the Alliance's war effort could use.
