I agree with this, completely. It's not just fandom; Marvel has a history of writing magical disability analogues (and, to give them credit, actual disability).
Personally I'd like to see primarily things which are disabilities in the real world, and for which the disability exists in canon, but not my fest. :D
(Also, I agree with you with respect to edge cases as well. Simon Illyan's cognitive disability and Mark Vorkosigan's psychiatric condition both have clear science fiction origins, but after their origin I think they have non-metaphorical existence as real disability.
As opposed to, say, some magical world where everyone except for the protagonist can read minds, in which an character portrayed as able-bodied to contemporary eyes is played as disabled in context.)
