No, definitely a great question and something we were expecting feedback on. There’s another conversation where I’ve explained more in-depth the challenges:

At the moment, the only think that comes to mind to help your situation would be if we added a filter that let you disable appending “Classic” to the element name. It wouldn’t be as forward facing as a preference since I wouldn’t recommend it, but it’s possible on the backend with a one liner in functions.php. This could get confusing since there would be multiple elements of the same type, but would help your situation. Let me know how that feels to you. Open to discussing other ideas as well.
