This sounds like a really good idea. The length difference times two or three as a penalty to the moral check would maybe work well. then the attack could stay low, so pikemen wouldn't repel infantry too often (infantry has mostly better defense than cav) so increased so the really big moral penalty from a pike vs. a sword wouldn't imbalance them, but even a 2 or 3 penalty against knights would really improve the repel effectiveness.
This isn't moddable though i suppose, while changing att/def is.
Natural attacks such as Claw or bite are length 0. Spears are length 4. Morale check at -8 for all animals seems rather extreme.

Also, cavalry often have better defense than infantry. The shield type might confuse you, as e.g. EA Ermor has Tower Shields and those appear to be really fantastic, but don't affect repel (or at least, I think they don't). Just being mounted gives +3 defense.
