Without hesitation.

I either submit it to whoever would list it, or keep it for my own use
I can't remember who it was, but I used to have a submitter that built sites similar to Floyd's example there. I call them linear, where the index leads directly to the first gallery, the first gallery links to the second, and so on. The main page has always been nothing more than an FPA broken into 3 ad blocks anyway. If a submitter wants to experiment with form and drop that page, or offer navigation around it the way you have in your example, I don't see why any reviewer would care.

So what we're left with is a looser definition of what a freesite should look like (or tighter if this end up being the ONLY allowed formad, by now my head is spinning).
At this point, I'm on a campaign of free site reform, which includes a looser definition so that builders have some room to breathe and be creative, yet the content isn't hidden from the surfer. Though we have to credit kit with bringing this to the table, I'm fairly certain that we are now on a different track than what he had proposed. Perhaps the end result will meet both of our needs and kit will be willing to list a site like Floyd's beautiful example. Who knows?
