I think "Ancient" is sort of important to keep human Aiuvarin from poaching it with Elvish Atavism. That's a combination they clearly want to avoid. Like maybe you are okay with that combination, but it's worth trying to keep certain combinations of ancestries+heritages from being clearly the best ones. Since "I'm pressured to play a kind of person I don't really want to play because of the mechanical benefits" is kind of a bummer.
There are some thematic issues with "what were you doing for 200 years that you're now level 1" but that can be spun into an RPing prompt.
