Only problem I see is that water pipes aren't always a reliable ground. If
the house has been partially replumbed with copper (or will be in the
future), it's routine to put insulators between iron and copper pipes.
Why not run a ground wire into the attic and tie the grounds to it, through
the new Romex ?
Or, since you don't have to disturb the drywall to change the plugs, run
your "with ground" Romex but leave the 2-prong plugs until the ground gets
connected later.
