Yeah - after all if 'everyone' is initiated to Orlanth or Ernalda, there usually won't be enough specialist warrior cultists in a clan to make it worth them ganging together to do their particular thing in a militarily useful fashion (or at least more useful than bolstering the fyrd in order to keep them up to the mark). The one caveatbeing that the warband almost certainly includes all of the specialist warrior cultists in the clan in any case and they will be aspects of Orlanth for the most part (Adventurous and Destor I'd imagine) - so to the extent that 'the warband' does things as a single entity they can be regarded as a specialist warrior cult unit.
If a tribal king calls a muster then you might get enough members of certain warrior cults turning out to warrant them taking their place in the battleline as a distinct unit - although I'd probably say that the tribe would need to maintain a relevant temple for this to be a routine thing for any particular tribal fyrd. If several tribes muster then the number of wierd and whacky specialist groups goes up again, but this sort of thing happens maybe once a generation or so, so definitely not a routine thing.
