The term I've heard is "demiregular".
Yes it makes the map a bit ununiform and awkward. But.
Another way to use it would be to treat it as a substrate for a tesselation composed of a set of tiles. Like 2 or 5 or whatever basic shapes, all based on that awkward tessellation, arbitrarily fitted together to fill the space.
The image at that third link takes an approach like that. An alphabet of approximately 20 shapes. (A "self tiling system" I think.)
