Try it out and see what happens. Create an lv using all available space 
on all the pvs and if it's created, then things must be working right 
and lvm doesn't need the 8e partiton type.

If not, then simply use fdisk to change the partition type and try it 
again. Then you will have proven practical usage (which means 
something) as opposed to opinions (which mean very little)
