If you have a single schedule, so all your jobs start at the same time,
then yes, it could work.
But scheduling Incremental, Differential and Full at the same time, sounds
weird and suboptimal.

If your full job is stuck and running long, then no other backup jobs can
start.
If your Differential and Full runs on every other weekend, alternating then
why different priority? Just curious.

Congrats!
I wish I had a production system with less than hundreds (or thousands) of
jobs per day.
If one job with different priorities sneezes then the whole system is
stuck. No luxury for such an event.
