While you are right to point out the "cheaper" manifestations of these notions, there are deeper and constructive expressions as well. While language isn't all, it is a subtle move to make the noun form move from a static noun to something that expresses movement. In that sense, I think it helps, and in agreement with you, I think such movement has to be informed by the deeper doctrinal foundations that you speak of, but it's not to tear the word sans -al down, it's actually an aide to help us stop thinking of those notions as a one-time event.

Insightful post. In a rush to be incarnational, I wonder if we haven’t bypassed the glory of the Incarnation. Beholding the Incarnation not simply as a metaphor for contextualizing but rather as the mystery of the glory of Christ.
