It is usable and you can include the GRUB in the same USB drive (no need to unplug other storage). I still have the drive somewhere around here. I have done this last one on a 32GB USB Flash, Mint with Cinnamon which is 'the heaviest' of the 3 desktop environments (Xfce, Mate and Cinnamon) in terms of graphics and so on and I think it's is based on GNOME 3. You can use EasyBCD again and totally wipe the linux bootloader (GRUB) as if it didn't exist if you have done this process of making Win bootloader the main one. All you do is add an entry that points to the GRUB in the other drive. But you can add an entry to Windows bootloader with software like EasyBCD and keep Windows bootloader intact and make GRUB like a branch to Windows bootloader and that way nothing happens even if you unplug the linux drive. Yes things can go wrong with a dual boot as GRUB usually overrides Windows bootloader and precedes it if you install the Linux after Windows just like that and if the linux disk fails or is corrupted you'd need Windows installation or repair/rescue media to repair boot files etc.
