It is indeed "unrealistic" (if you mean by that un-naturalistic or
un-natlangy), but so is self-segregating morphology generally.
So if your language is meant to resemble a natlang, don't make it
self-segregating, or if you want self-segregating morphology,
don't worry about unnaturalness - your language is unnatural
anyway.
Greetings,
Jörg.
