Pathfinder 1E Eliminating alignment

I'm thinking in eliminate alignment in my games.
I'll only keep it where alignment is part of the essence of the creature, even if his goal don't match his alignment, like demons or angels, they are evil and good. I'll use subtypes for that.
first I hate the paladins detect evil, this way I don't eliminate this feature, but it's no more a stupid one (imo)

my question is if there are more mechanical implication I'm not seeing that can bring some problems to my games?

No very many, surprisingly.

Some spells stop working or have their usefulness greatly reduce (Holy Word, Protection from Evil, and the like).

A couple of class combinations involving the Paladin become available, Barbarian/Paladins and Paladin/Druids. You can also play Barbarian/Monks!

Holy, Unholy, Axiomatic and Anarchic weapons are a bit less useful, too. Consider switching their prices from "+2" to "+1".

Other issues like those might arise during gameplay, but their adjudication shouldn't be that hard. If you come up with something that brings you problems, share it on the forums and we'll see what we can do.

thanks I didn't think in the price of magic properties.
classes will not have alignment restriction but they will have to roleplay their characters in a more "mature" way, that's the thing behind this.... So, it's hard to think in a barbarian monk... but maybe a monk/bard could work.
the essence of the paladin still is something from civilized people to me, it's hard for me to think a combination of barbarian or druid with paladin.
they have to create a believable character.
