Description
### Describe the feature you want to propose or implement
Currently, `ml_m` allows for a classfication learner while `ml_l` does not. What is the rationale behind this choice? It could easily be the case that both the treatment `D` and the outcome `Y` are binary variables in which case it is desirable to use classification learners on both stages.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by comparing the existing classification-learner support in `ml_m` with the implementation and learner validation for `ml_l`. Determine the intended behavior for binary treatment and outcome variables, then add the corresponding support and tests so classification learners work consistently in both stages.
