In fact, because of my personal life experiences, if a weaker version of this series of traits were added, I'd favor that being called "Double-Jointed", and a new term created for one of the two more advanced versions.

Double-jointed, in my experience, brings connotations of circus contortionists who can bend their elbows, knees, and the like almost completely backwards. While "flexible" would be an adjective I'd more likely use on someone who was generally good at squeezing out of tight spaces or climbing and the like, but not to that extreme.
