i think its an EXCELLENT idea and concept, it just has some obvious things that need simplfied.
One option is to throw a one-way somewhere between the motor and front diff. It wouldn't be as good as a center diff, but close (could install a neat mechanical brake setup on the front and get front/rear braking bias).

BTW, a "belt spur" is called a pulley
