As others have said, that sounds overly complex for simplicity. Grin. More simple options:
1. ride your current cassette and just shift two gears at a time, or far less frequently, whatever works for you to not think about it much. 2. convert to a single speed via ENO hub and chain tensioner. This is "simple" only in the sense of riding the bike, as it involves derailure removal and likely a new wheel for the hub. Option one is your best bet.
