That's a big negative, but I like your train of thought. Unfortunately this won't work, or at the most be very impractical. Reason being difference in tire rotation speeds (rounding corners, etc.) if you've ever driven a vehicle with a solid or welded rear axle, you'll know exactly what I am referring to...

However... My dream vehicle does utilize a double spline motor for a very similar application: configured inline with front and rear open differentials for a nice lightweight 50/50 AWD system!
