Cool! If you do use it let me know if you run into any issues. So far I haven't seen any balance issues in my game, but my players tend not to use many rituals in combat so there could be some glaring balance flaw that I'm overlooking.
Also, I just glanced at some of my books and the most powerful rituals like Enchant Magic Item, or Raise Dead have a 1 hour casting time or more. Even with my rules those aren't likely to see much use in combat since it would still take way too long.
The types of rituals that I would expect to see getting used in combat would be stuff like Feat of Strength, Water Walking, Dark Light, Shadow Bridge and so on.
WotC has done such a good job of setting the time requirement of rituals relative to the power level of the ritual that I feel it dovetails nicely with my ritual casting rule.
