Sure it would work, but if you're a little more cost conscious, as 10 wheels mentioned, there are lesser expensive bags with similar temperature ratings that are lighter in weight and cost considerably less.

And packs bigger than the moon. I bought a 32 degree down sleeping bag a couple of years ago, no longer available, at Walmart for well under $100. Weighs a pound and change, packs small and cost nothing. Still using it and it works great. Why you would to carry the extra pack weight, both in terms of the bigger panniers but also the extra weight of the sleeping bag...makes no sense to me. Some people just love to punish themselves.
and would someone please slap me for my naivety

I fail to understand why someone would spend money on a bag that's worse than one they already have.
Even if you didn't already have a bag, I'd say no. It's huge and it's not cheap. You can either find a better one for that money, or a cheaper one of that quality.
If you plan on carrying two sleeping bags on your tour, I'm probably not going to convince you that's a bad idea. It's your call. Have fun back there!

hello
How about a top quilt instead of a sleeping bag?
No zippers to deal with.
