Yup - no reason why that couldn't work.
 
As I said, I'm pretty sure I leaned towards scripting it because I
wanted to apply other logic - and of course, using other logical
constructs (like other group membership, or some other condition) means
you can be more selective.

I do it using %HOMESHARE% - although I apply folder redirection by
script - using the GPO gui just wasn't flexible enough (or allowed
enough other logic for me).
 
I can't remember whether I had any issues by using an un-obvious
environment variable such as %HOMESHARE% using the GPO mechanism, or not
- 'cos it's been a good few years since I tested it - but it works fine
by scripting it.
 
There's nothing magic about using GPOs for folder redirection - at the
end of the day, it's just registry values in HKCU.
 
FWIW, the desktop people, here, now script folder redirection (rather
than the GPO method) for normal PC users.
