That depends on what you're optimizing for. While your solution definitely 
helps with Availability, it deprioritizes Confidentiality and Integrity. For 
example, if your private key was compromised and your certificate subsequently 
revoked, your service would continue to be accessible (good availability) but 
all communications could be MITMed (bad for Confidentiality and Integrity).

Thanks,
