I don't like this idea of the matrix type determining the algorithm, I'd rather choose the algorithm.
Can we decouple it by building the prolongation operator P whose columns are harmonic extension of the coarse nodes? Then the coarse operator looks like P^T A P just like multigrid (for which we have a matop) instead of looking like a Schur complement.
