Brian,

Have you ever known anyone who has moved "beyond --- categories" once they
have been forced to learn them?

Why start off with a linguistically inadequate language model just so you
can go through all the trouble of unlearning it later?

Using these categories is going to flavor your whole approach doing NT
Greek. Most students will never "move beyond" them.
