So why would that be a bad idea? And why isn't it a bad idea to do the exact same thing with elevator trim?

I guess you think in case of an engine failure people use the rudder input to see what engine failed. But there have been plenty of engine failures where the pilots shut down the wrong engine. And the pilot not flying should always confirm what engine is failed. Guess what he uses....
The Cessna CJ uses bleed differential to add rudder bias for an engine failure, so when you have an engine failure you step deeper into the pedal on the working engine side. Takes 10 minutes in the SIM to get used to, and same to get unused to.
