While I agree that this is useful for perhaps raising awareness of how much color is used in design, I don't want people thinking that most folks with CVD actually see things in grayscale. The vast majority of us just want you to stop using only red and green to signify good/bad and instead switch to using unique symbols.

Agreed, I was only suggesting to use Grayscale to cover all types of color-blindness and to encourage creating UIs that are independent from any color as it's a bad habit in general. It's easier to remember to not rely on any color rather than just red-green.
