That part you're talking about is the canal path. That's different, although it's an alternative if you don't want to ride on the road for a mile through Manayunk until the trail picks up again on Kelly drive. Like you said it is doable, just not necessary if you don't want to ride it.
The one thing I;d worry about is keeping people together who maybe aren't familiar with the diversion around the toe path...it can be confusing to take that route if you aren't familiar with it. Hell...I still ask for directions when I use it and I;ve taken it a dozen times.
