Sounds fine to me.
Meanwhile, though, I think there *is* a way around this issue!
I'd think one could use the postcreate script capability to clean up
the unwanted files from the new user's home dir... right? That script
knows what group the user is in, and can take any appropriate action,
including the files in the users home dir and then replacing them with
files from /etc/skel.group if it exists.
I confess I've not tried it, but it ought to work.
