There is nothing narrow thinking, when you are writing a set of rules to replicate a literary source, in leaving out story elements that are not present in that literary source. And the Arthurian story cycles have no mages as heroes. They're about the adventures of noble knights.
It's also not any problem to run a campaign where all the characters have the same niche. I did that with my French swasubuckling campaign, where everyone was a fencing student. They differed in background and personality—a young musician who was the favorite of a duke, the son of an estate owner in the West Indies, an exiled Scots soldier, and an actress who had run away from a convent—but what the campaign was about was fencing and savoir-faire, and they were all roughly comparable there.
