In the most functional engineering orgs I've seen, this is the correct setup. There are clear and concise goals for each. (Everyone should know a bit about the other ofc.) Most super early startups I've seen w/ serious problems can be traced back to the founder doing all three and sucking at each. Only thing I'd say is that it's not just PM/EM that do scoping and input on product but the whole eng team. The healthiest teams I've been in used that setup and it worked really well.
