Sounds like a great project and it would make a great addition to the ecosystem if it were open source - haven't heard of anyone doing it before.
The approach sounds good and simple - foreign keys to a central customer model. You'd then be able to customise the admin classes for the customer model to include the related data inline. Cartridge already has views for users viewing their previous order history, so have a look at that to start with.
