I strongly agree with your idea of reuse (we just can't reinvent the wheel all the time...) But I think imposing such restriction in the tool could be frustrating in some cases... In my case, I want to elaborate a COMPOSITION archetype, and define the SECTION's of that COMPOSITION, and then I will add slot's to the ENTRYies (my reuse starts here!). Because of the restriction, I must create artificial archetypes (the workaround you just said before), to accomplish what I want. Maybe, it is better to alert the user with a warning, instead of forcing him to make tricks...
