After fighting some skeletons last night, it doesn't seem quite right to
me that they have fatigue. I think skeletons and golems other than flesh
golems (and perhaps rag and string golems) shouldn't have any FT, and
should have more EN to compensate. (And penalties for being out of FT
are inapplicable to them.) (Also, these monsters should de-animate at 0
EN (no '-1/2 EN' buffer) and are immune to 'bleeding' spec. grev.s, and
many other spec. grev.s)

The reason is these monster types don't get tired (at least as
I envision them) and only get damaged by taking real, physical (i.e.
EN) damage.

Having said all this, it probably isn't worth changing the rules. Think
of this as DQ apocrypha - if as a DM you like the idea, why not play it?

Are there other monsters that could fit into this model - e.g.
elementals?
