Yes, i don't really care for them, they've always been a problem
when i've learned any language, and one of my priorities was to
create a very simple language. I think that 3 irregular verbs is
good enough!

That's right. I had a similar problem with using the personal
subject pronouns; i wasn't sure if it was important to use them or
not, since French does it but not the other languages, except to
emphasize. And i came up to the same conclusion: it doesn't really
matter, both ways are correct to me as long as the sentence is
understandable.
