I think that there is a good case for pronouns being
irregular and distinct, so as to avoid
misunderstandings.

The use of "s" for the plurals, seems guaranteed to be
misheard in speech when followed by a word that starts
with "s" or any word to which an initial "s" could be
added and which then forms another valid word.

Maybe even "nos, vos, los" are too similar?
