I agree on all these points -- one stumbling block to including TV and 
more traditional templating approaches in the same page tree is the need 
for two page modules (one for TV, one for everything else). However, 
Robert includes the following in his changelog for the beta of 1.0:

  + Added new features into tx_templavoila_tcemain: The sorting field is 
now automatically updated so it reflects the TV flexform order. It is 
now possible to move and create records with standard TCEmain requests 
(eg. with the List module or the classic Page Module!)

So this might not be an issue for long...
