Disagree with your 'first of all'. What is the practical use of learning the 81 note names? And on the guitar (just like piano) nearly half of those have alternative names (F#/Gb, Bb/A#). And to a beginner, fret 5 can look very much like fret 7... Also NNS isn't really designed for beginner guitarists, used pretty well exclusively by pros!

Yes, there is a problem with your absolute pitches section. Just in the enharmonic naming aspect. The two week woodshedding idea is nice, but but maybe just learn the natural pitch letters, and make the sharp/flat alterations of those naturals comes as a second stage. It's something to think about, because I suspect many guitarists lean toward sharps and keys with sharps. You want to ensure flats are properly studied.
