It works especially well if you adjust your robot's balance to favour the paired traction wheels. The omnis would only be used if the balance is upset. (Obviously you'd have to decide if that's possible for a given game.)

And while we're waiting for the next game to be revealed, why not sketch out a wide-based version of this design? There have been numerous FIRST games in which the narrowness of the robot wasn't an issue, and wide 4WD bases made a lot of sense.
