this is not true. suit simplifications can be made without any loss to the value of the solution, but saying AA=KK is not a lossless simplification

EV is different, but optimal course of action at each branching point is identical

You have no way of knowing this. If the EV is different, how can you say with any certainty that the action at each branching point is identical? What if there is an ace or a king on the board? These hands are very similar and likely have similar strategies, but they are absolutely not the same and any strategy that treats them that way is not optimal.
