This actually reminds me of complex questlines in Bethesda's RPG engines, like Underground Undercover in Fallout 4, as well as the intermingling of the questlines due to competing factions creating twists in the story depending on your actions.

Your method might be an easier way to accomplish it, but it actually might make the problems created by open ended / open world gaming with intermingling quests worse, since it would allow a freer sort of interaction, which leads to smurfing/exploiting opportunities and quest bugs.

Not that your system would have them as a matter of course, but the way it operated it would be difficult to devise a test matrix for it. Let's put it that way.

Edit: I used RPGs as opposed to RTSs as an example because my experience with RTS games is extremely limited.
There's smoke in my iris
But I painted a sunny day on the insides of my eyelids
So I'm ready now (What you ready for?)
I'm ready for life in this city
And my wings have grown almost enough to lift me
