Well, originally we had "name" as the only key but some routing folks
insisted on having "type" as the second key. Personally, I am not
entirely sold to this idea.

The thing is: YANG requires config lists to have keys but it doesn't
mean these keys need to be the same as parameters that are understood as
keys in a CLI.

One advantage of having YANG list keys separate from "public" keys is
that a user is free to change the public keys, and it also doesn't break
any internal references in the configuration. If you have "acl-type" and
"acl-name" as YANG list keys, then they cannot be changed.

So in fact I'd suggest to have an opaque ID as the only list key, and
then "acl-name" and "acl-type" as non-key leafs, perhaps subject to a
unique constraint.
