I've thought about doing the same except positioning the light on the rear rack, facing forward and up to shine on my back/helmet. Kind of a rear "uplight".
From the front facing back (at front torso).

But I like your idea of the rear uplight.

But unlike you I am dealing with slow moving traffic and just want to avoid being left hooked or missed if somebody comes from a side street turning onto my street.
