Has anyone tried this approach before? Without even realizing it, I've been kind of doing this since I always leave my mix bus plugins on from start to finish.

Music producer. I make music for your favorite artists, ads, shows, and movies.

Yeah I guess I kinda do this "backwards" by default too hehe

I do (in a modified way). Used to be the way most mixes were done. Still is with a LOT of the most successful mixers. The listener never hears a sound individually, and interaction between sounds often massively changes the perception of what adjustments need to be made.
