I, for one, don't. To me, Tolkien was specific enough when he stated that Tom was an intended enigma. Were I to speculate: if we are referring strictly to the classes of beings we know from Ainulindale, then him being a vala is the most likely case; but it is altogether possible that, "historically" speaking, there might have been other classes of rational beings, different from the ones we know of.
