And while I haven't given a whole lot of thought to this, a keyword
scheme in addition to a rating categorization scheme could also have
other benefits, like being able to search through images better.

I don't see why a rating categorization scheme (and maybe a keyword
system, not too sure about that one) it should be avoided if it doesn't
harm anybody, and only offers optional positive enhancements to users
who want it.
