Mike, we have a commercial router at work. A Routech 220, made in Italy that is designed almost exactly like your machine. Its not mounted to a wall, but the concept is similar.
They have a wider spread on the X axis bearings for stability (horizontally, not vertically) and use a large tubular frame for the for cantilevered part.
I'm sure that your idea will work, just allow double, maybe triple your anticipated build and debug time.
I hope that you are going to add some support for your X axis ball screw. That thing will whip like crazy. If you can do it, maybe mount it stationary and spin the nut.
Keep us posted, as this is going to be really spectacular.
