But other than that it will work.

If you set it up right, you can have 100% of your overflow water going into the skimmer and no bubbles. Click on my little red house to see more, but the short version is that if you use a 'dual standpipe' method, you run your primary drain into the skimmer. No bubbles.
The only thing to watch out for is DO NOT use a standpipe with a gate valve on it if you are going with direct feed. Use a telescoping standpipe instead... much more forgiving with water flow flux, which you will have when you direct feed like that.
