Let's put those numbers in perspective and compare them to the rating distribution for blitz (the most popular on lichess, others are similar):
- wood 400: the rating floor, everybody gets this
- bronze 500: 0.2% percentile, i.e. only 1 user out of 500 has not reached this milestone
- silver 700: 1.7% percentile, 59 out of 60 lichess users have this
- gold 1000: 12.1% percentile, 7 out of 8 are "gold"
- platinum 1400: 42.5% percentile, i.e. still more than a half
- diamond 1800: 77.2% percentile, almost a quarter of the player pool
Sounds like exactly the kind of feature a site like chess-com would implement to make users feel more proud of themselves and more willing to pay for membership. And many users appreciate that lichess has no need to come with this kind of "bells and whistles" pseudofeatures. (For the record, I would feel exactly the same even if the thresholds were more realistic.)

I had a similar idea, but fantasy based, with wizards and rogues and levels and so on. Perhaps it would be interesting to see what are the attributes of chess players that makes them work like battle classes, ranged attacks vs melee, resistant to magic, that kind of stuff. But ultimately it would be forcing a square peg into a round hole. And auto-profiling players is technically intriguing, but socially inept. And no doubt we would turn to pieces instead of fantasy classes anyway, Pawns, Bishops, etc. But ultimately useless.
The only positive thing I see is giving you more options than just hiding rating in Zen mode or seeing very precisely how outmatched you are :D.
Surprising that the suggestions don't include pawn, knight, bishop, rook, queen, king.
