This was my first thought but lack of multiple 'type's gave me pause.

I am not sure we necessarily need entity_class on entity. This was initially added to just give an indication as to where an entity entered the system (i.e as a customer, lead, etc). The actual types are in other tables, like entity_credit_account and entity_employee.
