Am I correctly understanding what you are suggesting? Presumably, also rather than actually using two separate joysticks, you simply use a gamepad to provide the above control?
I thought this was actually pretty common, driving with an arcade mode, but with separated joysticks. It's something I've certainly wanted to try for awhile, but I'm stuck on teams that love their joysticks and tank drives.

Maybe if my team enters a mentor match I'll bring my gamepad...
