I’ve seen that math and something like that could work. Elon turned off the spigot on falcon heavy launches to create a bigger market for Starship.

Blue’s lander aggregates in a manner similar to what you describe, as did NASA’s original government reference design.

The other thing you’re talking about is basically Gateway. You’re pitching (more or less) the NASA concept circa 2019. :)
