Taoism and the Bhavacakra

I was pondering on the Buddhist karmic-taxonomy of beings (devas, asuras, humans, animals, pretas, narakas) and was wondering, from the Taoist/Bruce’s point of view, how accurate this is?

It seems to me there is a greater diversity of beings (from what I’ve heard Bruce allude to, like in the chapter one instructions for the Tao Te Ching course) than can be boiled down to six desire-oriented classifications, but of course, that may be out of desire on my part.

Also with how Hindus tend to conflict about the immortality/omniscience/etc. of devas (from what I’ve read on wikipedia), and how ever the hell fairies and elementals fit into all this mess, I’m just wondering whether it’s safer to assume that beings run a pretty infinite gamut of type than it is reduced to by the Bhavacakra?

But, I’d be lying if I didn’t mention that I like/love the simplicity of the six realms of existence, just seems a little…insulting? to the varieties of beings and the infinitude of the Tao. And yet, maybe the simplicity of the Bhavacakra is all part of the mysteriousness of the Tao, to excel in such infinite diversity while being relatively relatable and always being able to surprise you…mysterious and mysterious.

Also also, in light of the obvious, why do Buddhists place the realm of the Taoist Spiritual Immortals in a kind of limbo between devas and humans? Is this just politics or is there something more to it?
That said, I think I answered my original question for this thread when checking the facts on this question; yes, Taoism ascribes to 5 realms (eschewing six to mash two together)…oops
