Sorry, I missed you mail earlier, I only read your arguments nowish.
You are emphasizing that the "future-proof" argument is rather weak,
which I was already aware. And you are underplaying the fact that it
belongs to a trend to always delay necessary changes.
Anyway, even if all the arguments for using the proper types are all
very weak, there are several, and together I am still convinced they
exceed "consistency" easily.
consistently good > inconsistently good and bad > consistently bad

Or, as John Oliver pointed last Sunday: just because you reopened
restaurants does not mean you have to reopen schools too for the sake of
consistency.
