Flint is 110% right on here.

Before trying a less-than-standard notation device, you should try to use the most standard notational device possible to get the correct effect.

If we are refering specifically to the example posted above, I think that there are three perfectly standard means of approaching the notation would:
1. tiny clefs, one treble one bass, right above one another, just before the intended notes;
2. the addition of a third staff for the single bass note;
3. or placing material of BOTH treble staves into a single staff, and making the second staff a bass clef staff.

I prefer the 3rd choice.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
