While you are wholly right that characters group together, I don't think that your groups are necessarily the best that can be.
For example, lk is common, rk is rare, and nk or mk are basically non-existent. Similarly, s is common at the end of words, d a bit less common but clearly normal, and all the gallows are uncommon in that position.
Instead of groups I've preferred to think like this: for every character, which is the most similar? It lets me see more about similarities and differences, and informs the bigger groups.
