Have you consider adding "Aesthetic Simulationist" into your big mess o' ____ Simulationist classifications there? What I'm thinking of here are people who want the events of the game to conform to very specific ideas of "how things work," above and beyond what you're talking about in "Trivial Simulationist."
The anime fan who wants the game to "feel like anime"
The military realist who wants bleed charts and scatter diagrams
are both heading towards an Aesthetic Simulationist technical agenda.
Games with this:
Hero
Riddle of Steel
Teenagers from Outer Space
Big Eyes, Small Mouth has it in the pictures, but not the rules.
