Yes, that could probably work - admittedly, regarding the Chromecast setup I'm also just relying on what I understood about it's workings and limitations, couldn't justify getting one so far given no one could convince me so far that would be useful for my purposes.
I see two potential disadvantages of the scenario you described:
1) reliance on a third device (more complex, more stuff that can go wrong in between and overall probably higher energy usage)
2) internet access on phone would probably have to be via mobile internet, hence potentially more costly (depending on your data plan and intended internet usage of course)
In terms of ease of setup it might beat having to set up connections from fresh every time. Although I suppose if the Chromecast keeps the connection info persistent, it might be possible to get a working projection system with only a hotspot on the sending device - unfortunately not for the Max2 if you can't get the hotspot to work there. Would be interesting to know of Chromecast could be used that way though. I'd still prefer miracast, but this would allow at least some limited flexibility of use for Chromecast, too.
I guess at this point I should formulate my quest for miracast as a feature request to onyx. I wonder if the absence is due to hardware restrictions or whether they just didn't bother to implement it.
