That's exactly what I'm doing.
The only difference is that I'm using two mirrors to 'fold' the long distance into a short package.
In the end, this would also allow us to use a single, smaller sensor with less points that gets used over and over again.

Maybe I'll find some time and write a better simulation that also contains a sensor
