(I couldn't help and wonder how this would go along with the idea of all the unit's members being of equal skill levels, and how to introduce replacements or deal with fast learners?)

According to the sources, Argrath's introduction produced magically exceptionally coordinated units. Looking at the DP boardgame, that includes his Praxian bands (Sword Brothers, Bollocks, Twin Spears) which can defeat a whole Lunar magician regiment's attacking spirit on most days.

Like the Colymar militia. But unlike Argrath's new units they did not make an active use of their wyter. IMO!

Their wyter would work differently from Lunar and Sartar MU units, too, since it would cause just one special ("exotic") effect, not an attacking and defending spirit. IMO in DP scale they have no range value, and cannot counterattack vs spirits.
