That won't leave much CFM left over for anything else. It also means that you compressor will be running at almost 100%.
Why not use an electric pump with those same tanks? My Rietschle Thomas from Veneer Supplies needs new seals, but it has run (in always on mode) eight hours a day for the last two years. I can't imagine how a compressor would have faired after the same duty, a bunch of oil changes at the minimum; plus the compressor is much noisier.
