Its a sound strategy. The problem is that you cant have it both ways. Like when you have your choosen bluff combos like KQ, you likely dont get many folds when you bet with small sizing. Most people just close their eyes and pays it off with any Ax or a good pocket pair unless they see the writing on the wall facing large "scary" bets. On the other hand you get alot of value if you also sizes small with your valuebetting combos for the same reasons: because you wont get many folds when chosing small sizing, so you always gets paid something with your good hands.
You really have to reflect over what suits your game the best, what exploits your opponents the best way and what suits the playerpool you play against the best. At least thats my few cents.
If you have a tight image with lots of natural fold equity and want to widen your game little bit, i would start with how to open your game more and to suit that purpose in a proper way- if you are a lag player with small amount of fold equity in your game i would start there and so forth.
