Yes I believe the divisions between EDS types is somewhat ‘fuzzy edged’. I have been diagnosed EDS III, though I have traits of the vascular type (type IV), I’m awaiting a geneticist appointment to confirm one way or the other.
Regarding whether EDS skips generations, let me say that my mum had the thumbs touching arms ability but I don’t, she also had the flat feet and heart murmur. I only have minimal bendiness (knees mainly), yet my children, certainly the girls are quite bendy, especially their hands. I suppose we all inherit varying degrees of it.
