On my SOBO I used a WB Yeti and a sit pad inside the foot box of my quilt and a small piece of reflectix for my lower legs (single layer BIAS WW) during colder weather. I hung through the Whites except one night at Lake of the Clouds and one night in a hostel (Chet's Place). A pad would have made for better sleep on the wood bunks, but I made do for one night each. GSMNP is the other spot where you'll likely go to ground for at least a few nights. I think you're plan sounds fine, although I used the Yeti whenever it fell into the 60's at night...but I spent the summer months in the mountains of NE.
