Your idea sounds reasonable.
You may want to leave the 001 fermenter a bit short on volume, so when you add the crystal/DME stove-top wort, you get your target volume in the fermenter. (You already knew that, I'm sure, but I feel better saying so out loud).
You could even time it on brewday that you do the main brew and the stove-top work in parallel, so that when you fill your fermentors, everything is in before pitching the yeast.
Just a thought.

For sanitation purposes, I'd suggest making the stove-top part the night before, and let it sit in the fridge until the next day, and then add to the 001 fermentor as planned.
If everything is properly sanitized, this should work well, but I'd be leery of letting unpitched wort sit more than 24 hours.
Just my opinion.

That all sounds good to me.
What about a double brew day. When I needed to make beer fast, I did 2-10 gallon batches overlapping them so it was not double the brew time but more like 1.5 times. It starts to feel like work, but you end up with 20 gallons.
