I think “don't roll your own licence (unless you have relevant legal expertise)” should be a regular mantra much like “don't roll your own crypto (unless you have significant cryptography expertise)”.
With the joint caveat of “unless it is for a personal project or plaything, for learning/practising/gaining that expertise, that you don't expect others to use” of course.
No matter how careful and well-intentioned your efforts are in either case, the chance of unintended consequences causing faf (for you in this case, needing to explain and/or reword in order to reclarify and smooth edge case interactions with other common licences).
