This sounds like a solid strategy. Most of my oldest documents were Wordperfect 5, so they were still readable. I have converted them to txt (accessibilty) and pdf (preserve formatting). My biggest miscalculations were using CD-RW media during a period of time in the early 2000s (the media often cannot be read by CD drives the disc was not created on) as well as my choice to use cheap CD-R media which over time the plastic became cloudy, or the reflective layer oxidizing and then flaking over time.
