How could this work without the one way clutch? If there's no clutch to slip when the output spins faster than what the high-torque motor is capable of at free-speed, that motor will drag and be spinning faster than it's free-speed.
...or, because you're making it spin faster than it's "no-load" spin mean that there won't be any appreciable effect on on the output? That is, at its free-speed, the high-torque motors does no work, so, conceivably, it requires very little work to keep it spinning at that speed? Would spinning it faster than it's free-speed damage it?
