"Tu" is the most intimate form of address in Spanish (et al.), so I don't see
how it's use in addressing God in prayer would be counterintuitive.
On the contrary, growing up addressing God as "thou" gave me a false
impression of distance and non-intimacy that "thou" never had.  Learning how to use
"tu" in Spanish and French taught me how God is perceived in those languages.
