I've done a similar solution however:
I put 2 worm gears on 1 40t gear. One on top and one on the bottom. My intent
was to counter the slipping that happens under severe loads. Though it's a pain
to turn (you have to turn 2 axles in opposite directions) it works well.
That said you can do the same function as your idea above by turning one and not
the other.
