Please forgive my word choice, but for monks to not be proficient with all monk weapons is stupid. Sure, you can use them for monk's flurry, but since monks are not proficient with them, wouldn't they take a -4 penalty on attack rolls? If so, it makes no sense to use those weapons even when flurrying.
And please don't tell me that one should play an unchained monk instead of the core monk. While I agree that the unchained monk is better overall, there are reasons why one would want to play the core monk instead. And why is it that the unchained monk was given proficiency with all monk weapons anyway? To me, it seems like an oversight that was corrected when creating the unchained monk. So, why not issue an errata for the core monk giving it proficiency with all monk weapons as well?
