Very similar design already used by Wing. I'm guessing they did a fair bit of analysis and modeling of the cost, range, complexity, safety, etc. etc. tradeoffs before settling on what they're using currently.
Two impressive things about Wing's design are
1) load paths are designed to break the airframe in controlled ways
2) the 4 blade props have alternating shorter and longer blades for quieter aeroacoustics
Adam Savage did a video tour of their factory recently, worth a watch
