Your response seems to be "no, we should not use units that are familiar to anyone". That seems, well, absurd, so I wanted to be sure that's what you meant.
Listing weights in Encumbrance Units is a perfectly viable option, and has the useful side benefit that you can adjust the rating for objects that are unusually convenient or inconvenient relative to their weight.
