Oh yeah, you could do that. I don't think in chord symbols, and I try 
not to think in 12tET, so the #9 kludge didn't occur to me.

If I were writing polychords for "continuo" in a big band context, I'd 
probably use 2 instruments (Guitar and piano maybe) and split the triads 
between them, so they were timbrally separated. Otherwise, they aren't 
really polychords, but extended tertian structures (not that there's 
anything wrong with that...)
