I worked at an ISP that had many customers with dual Ethernet connections. Some of these customers wanted to do what you described, and it worked fine, as long as the customer configured HSRP so that we could put up static routes to the customer's networks behind their routers using the HSRP gateway as the next hop address. The only issue, and it was minor, was making sure the customer's subnets were advertised to the Internet.
