Peasants have 100 men, and that's why they are better for garrison duty than the rest. As far as I have noticed, the loyalty boost from garrisons comes not from the number of units, but from the number of men present in it. You can get more men in shorter time by building peasants at same cost, and that in turn makes your armies available and your worries over sooner. Sure, they cannot serve as a reserve, and they can't quench down backprovince revolts, but the way the revolts are now, neither can militiamen.
Davout, if your division is meant to purely reflect the cost groups, it's ok. But if you're suggesting the actual role in which the units should be used, I doubt that you'll be able to defend your borders without arbs and spears very effectively, the Byz won't go too far without any cavalry, turcoman foot are worthless imho, etc.
