This would place all instances of A,A vs ? into a context where at least three aces have been observed and counted just they would be when playing A,A after splitting.

Does this sound reasonable?
Perfectly reasonable. That is what I suggested in a previous post. I think there's a semantic issue about removing an ace, but it's exactly what you're proposing. That's why we're counting it.
In my program I don't burn any cards although I don't think that affects the results.
