That sound like a perfectly workable strategy.  The only thing to
decide is if you are going to merge the branches before push, or
rebase them.

At least not a bad idea. After all, a new branch in git only add one more
file under .git/refs directory in which there is only one line recording
the commit hash value your branch is pointing to. IMO,  you won't be any
problems with thousands of branches exist in your project.
