Going whole-hog template with no PHP allowed might be more useful for larger teams where some HTML designer is supposed to know NOTHING about PHP -- Though, honestly, teaching an HTML designed just enough PHP to deal with your not-quite-templates is probably easier and better in the long run, imho.
