Not so much by the impiety as by a perceived inconsistency in your assignments.

I understood that Arkat the Deceiver was Gbaji, by definition.

By the same argument, Sheng Seleris should be associated with Moon and Jar-Eel with Storm, as that's what defined their lives. You define the others by central aspects of their personal power, rather than by what they opposed. Though many of Arkat's powers derive from Illumination, I don't accept that Illumination is necessarily chaotic. By Peter M's arguments, Harrek is also associated with Chaos rather than Death, as he's as much a destroyer as Arkat, for less reason, and builds less IMO.

Which is, in your opinion?
