The point of mecanum and omni wheels is to avoid the pushing matches. Will you get pushed? Yes. Will you get into a pushing match? Probably not, if your drivers have enough practice time.

It's a cool idea. I'm not entirely sure it's practical, but I've seen more impractical ideas for mecanum drive (and even had one of them myself).
