Does this make sense?

Looks good to me but you will have a lot of digging to do and maybe some sort of protection to keep the dirt out your reservoir.

Maybe consider a corrugated (tough) pipe from rez to surface
so you can efficiently get the water to the rez without runoff.

Saplings are often planted with a watering pipe like that.
I tried this with ganja and it made no difference to my plants
because it rains enough here anyway. :)

You can get aquarium pipe suitable for the job and probably some kind of plug or cap
for it as well, though a rag would probably do.

I got your idea on filling the rez with porous material but you will still have to cover it up especially if you plan on reusing the site a few times with no further maintenance.
I grow outdoors in homemade smartpots.
They are on the native ground and have no bottom.
I have to empty them and refill every year.
This is because the surrounding trees will shoot roots and invade the containers competing for water and nutrients with your plants.
I think the same thing will happen to you.Especially if you grow in a dry location where native plants and trees are naturally adapted to make the better use of water.

Peace
