...and still have 121.5 on the back-up Comm 2 ready to transmit in case of own emergency? Not a bad idea.

The only other issue is that it's still very worthwhile aircraft having 121.5 monitored as they are usually in VHF range of any aircraft in distress where earthbound ATC units are not - aircraft have a far greater chance of hearing a distress call.
