Nothing is wrong with that except that many transmitters have one stick, called the mode stick I think, that is assumed to be used for throttle. As such, the up/down axis of that stick sticks; you let go of it and it holds its position. I suppose if your flying an aircraft or heli this is a feature.
Now if neither of your sticks have a throttle lock, then your idea works fine on paper; im not sure if youll find problems with it in the field with regards to ergonomics, but on paper it sounds fine. The idea of mixing is you use the up/down axis of one stick as the throttle, and the side-to-side to set your steering direction. So for example full forwards gives 100% power to both motors. full to one side does a neutral steer, with one track in full ahead and the other in full reverse. Theres all sorts of other weird and wonderful behaviours you can code if you were so inclined (exponential curves on the throttle value for example, deadbands etc) but the basic concept is that the Y axis sets your speed, and the X axis sets your direction...
