Again, kpppk is not that impractical.  Particularly when all 3 pawns end up on
the same rook file...

But it really doesn't matter whether the ending is easy to win or not.  What
matters is to stop searching as soon as possible along a path where the result
is known.  having _all_ 5 piece tables makes that happen.  Missing files are
less efficient, period...
