I was giving a second thought to this. Would it be acceptable to add
the gpio driver now, and once the need arises, add the pinctrl thin
layer on top of it? My concern is that I would not use anything else
than the gpio functionality of these pins. It would be a needless
additional work (i.e. investment) for my project and employer.

Perhaps, the layer on top of that can be added later without any
drawback if anyone ever finds the need to have more functionality
supported by these pins?

Shall look forward to hearing your opinion.
