While strategic, it's worth noting that DOS2 had something similar (IIRC it allowed you to delay your actions until the end of the turn), and in actual practice it ended up being rather abusable in the sense that you could just turtle up somewhere on high ground, delay and wait for an enemy to come to you, and then effectively unleash 2 turns worth of actions before most of the enemies get to do anything. (I say 'most' instead of 'all' because that game had round robin initiative.)

Then again, it's still an extra defensive tactic to consider regardless, of which BG3 is very lacking in terms of general defensive options outside of pre-position cheese right now. And utilizing this type of tactic for this specific type of cheese isn't exactly compatible with the current popular strategy of stealth alpha strike surprise rounds. The ability to delay your turn would definitely help melee characters if they have nothing in range that they can swing at.
