That's the big thing... If it works for you, it doesn't matter what anybody says should work when, where and how
My 300wt is a TNF Denali which has the nylon on the upper portion, and does provide some wind blocking, it is one of my favorite bash and crash jackets, and as you say, can be very comfortable depending on the situations. It also has pit zips, however I don't think they are really needed when worn on it's own, more for match up use when under a shell with the pits unzipped. Sounds like your windblocking vest is a good idea, I like it!
I would seldom venture anywhere with out a hard shell in my pack, or on my back... I must be oldschool
