Considering Moorcock himself wrote lyrics for BöC, it seems fitting.Bravo, Bravo! for the BOC reference, lots of fantasy in their their songs...I assume you have heard "Black Blade"?

If it were me, I'd switch telepath and constructor. Telepathy is a core element of psionics, like clairsentience, telekinesis, and body manipulation. Forming constructs out of astral goo feels more wizardy.Happy Fun Hour 6/5/18
Mearls gives an overview of the state of psionics so far.
It looks to be shaping up awesome.
Rather than mystic, the name of the psionic class will probably be: psion.

If we're being honest - and, I know, why start now? - psionics is just magic with the serial numbers filed off for use in science-fiction.
But, just like D&D informed MMOs which in turn influenced D&D, fantasy has infiltrated sci-fi which has infiltrated fantasy with the magic it ripped off from fantasy as psionics.
So it's as legit as any other pop culture genre infidelities of th 70s.
It's not you. It's because the concept difference is weak.
"Supernatural but not magic" makes little sense because "magic" is already a catch-all word for everything supernatural. Psionics works great in context where you don't already use the word magic to explain the supernatural.
I... or they'll question why the exact same ability like detecting thoughts works one way as a spell and another way as a discipline....
I suppose that, arguably, the Enchanter never really needed to be it's own thing in 5e, sure.. And truth be told... I wonder at the end of the day if psionics is going to end up feeling pretty much like the Enchanter, and that it was never really necessary to be its own "thing" for 5E after all?
