I think that hough the themes are distinct maybe they are a bit TOO distinct (The following thoughts are about using the 7 vices for both team prompts or just for team Vice while team Virtue has their own prompts.)
It will possibly read to pigeonholing writers, for one the vices and sins have more specific connotations (sloth is BAD, lust is BAD), which even if a writer decides to reject in their fic, still cuts down the wiggle room) Take anger or example, if the prompt was simply Anger there would be more interpretation room but as a Vice? extreme anger? a sin? a very negative thing? Not as much.
Also it may one of the things one will associate with Kurogane but what about Fai? He's nothing like Kurogane in that regard and that would be OOC for Fai, so the writer is again pigeonholed.
Same thing with lust, it's mostly a conservative notion so I think many of those will force the writers to try and subvert/reject these notions without giving them many other choices. Dark is a broad enough theme but specific Vices are not imo. Also greed mm they aren't really greedy? Not everything is a broad enough prompt to apply to both characters, and so on.
UNLESS the prompts are Humility vs Pride etc.! So writers can choose either of them to focus on/reject! The vice team writers can choose either humility or pride to be the Vice! Or to be what is considered a Vice but really is not etc.
