I think your approach is sounds fantastic and I should try that out with my longer fiction! It sounds like a time-saving mesh between first draft and synopsis, and also lets you get the whole thing together with a proper ending fast so you can't get last minute writer's block.
I'm not entirely sure if it would work for me, though, as I tend to still work on, expand and modify motivation and plot while I'm writing the first draft and I sort of need to write it all out to figure it out. My first draft usually end up rather like my second drafts; the second drafts are just "fixed" versions.
