Sound good to me.

The only exception I could see is a character in a reality clearly tied to a known family, but other family members are never mentioned or depicted (I didn't managed to find back an example I though existed), but that can be resolved by a sub-rule for the guide-line: in such case, a note or a mention in the history text (regarding which is relevant) could allow to derogate.
