I may be wrong, since I have yet to try this approach, which otherwise sounds promising.

No hard evidence, but logic tells me that more power is available for the > 180Hz frequencies than if the amp is run full range. Your fear that, if I read you accurately, output would sag > 180 with high demand passages would bias the FR towards the low end if true. I don't experience that when listening though.
Maybe semantics, but I don't consider the low end "boosted" in my system. I've worked to blend my mid-woofs and sub-woofs well with the mains filtered out where they do their work. I would call it boosted if the mains were full range and I added subs on top of that.
All of this depends on overall listening volume level however. I tend to keep the bulk of the levels at around 80db at the listening position. Of course, peaks occur higher. But if I were to listen at, say, 95db, then peaks would be higher still and my experience may not hold at those levels.
