I agree with your arguments if we consider explicit forms of knowledge, such as episteme and doxa. I’m uncertain if they also apply to what we might call “implicit” knowledge like that of techne and gnosis, i.e. knowledge that isn’t separable from the experience of it. There I think we can make a distinction between pure “is” that exists prior to conceptualization and “is from ought” arising only after such experiences are reified (via distinction/discrimination/judgement) that makes it so that we can only talk about knowledge of the “is from ought” form even if it built over “is” knowledge that we can only point at indirectly.
Yeah, I’m thinking specifically of knowledge that has an internal justificatory structure, that can ask (at least once) “why is this knowledge likely to be correct”. Gnosis is likely pre-reflective enough that it doesn’t have such a structure. (An epistemic claim that gnosis constitutes knowledge, on the other hand, will). Whether techne does or does not depends on how rich/structured its implicit world model is (e.g. model-free reinforcement learning can produce techne with no actual beliefs)
