I treat the LMP TIPS ladder as a completely separate portfoflio.
In addition to having the goal of providing an income stream similar to SS, it's also non-rolling, so will get consumed over time.
This ends up leading to a rising equity glide path, rather than a static AA.
But from an AA tracking POV, I mostly ignore the TIPS ladder.
2 other examples ideally wouldn't be held in your "investable assets":

Pretty much what I do. I do not ignore the TIPS in tracking my AA. I recognize that they represent the bulk of bond holdings. But since there are TIPS and SS, I do not rebalance my allocations. I keep saving money and it goes into stocks. So, like you my equity allocation continues to increase on its own.
