Oh, not at all; type-4 are very easy.  You can usually make one by
starting with a lujvo and lopping off a letter or two in the middle
somewhere, for example.

Anything with a consonant cluster in the first 5 letters, that ends
in vowel, and isn't a gismu or lujvo, is valid.  That's a *big*
space, and much of it is extremely easy to pronounce.

Wait, does that exclude 5 letter words?  i.e. if I saw "gratu" I would assume that it was a gismu but technically it meets your criteria.
 
(Also, I don't find cidjrspageti that hard to pronounce, but I used
to)

Haha, same exact thing here.  First time I saw it I said "well there's a word I'll never use" but a couple of trial attempts and now it feels perfectly natural.
