Yes, this is a good idea.

And it is not original. ZRTP supports an "auxsecret" to stir some
out-of-band shared key material into the "fancy" Diffie-Hellman
negotiation. See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6189#section-4.3

I made a feature request to add something similar to Signal
(https://community.signalusers.org/t/3469) but nobody cared
