I wouldn't trust it,
my team isn't very good at lining things up perfectly, and if that things is not lined up perfectly it will probably give alot more easily than a setup which has 50% tooth contact.
Plus it is really not saving that much room or weight... maybe 1 sprocket.
what we did last year and this year is put 3 sprockets on the center wheel, (they don't have to be all hubbed you can use plate sprockets). 1 sprocket connects to tranny, then 1 goes to front, and one to back. This is a lot more robust, plus if you break one chain you still have 4wd, (unless of course it is the chain from your drive to center...then you're screwed)
