That seems like a good idea, but you can do that simply with dispatchers. Then you can control that the workers never use all the threads, and some are saved for the productors. It depends on your requirements if there is a problem that the productors work slowly, though...
If the work is too heavy for one machine (as it sounds to me), you should consider spreading out using remote actors (different actor systems) on different machines. The system should not crash anyway, though.
