Ivan, One problem you will face is documents appearing in your navigation. I think all items in the Pages library are added to navigation, irrespective of content type, so if you add a document content type to a Pages library and upload documents to it associated to the content type, the document is going to show up in your navigation menus, which is something you probably don't want to happen.
I agree with Paul's comment re hierarchy in a site. The only standard way to create hierarchy in WCM sites is to nest sites, you can't create any real hierarchy in a single site apart from having one page as the Welcome/Default page for the site and other pages as secondary/siblings to the welcome page.
