My advice:

1. Just try it out. You can always respec (= redo all your stats, classes etc.)

2. Maybe don't worry too much about 'efficiency' unless you play Tactician Difficulty.
It's a roleplaying game. I want to play a character with specific background, personality + abilities, even if they don't neatly line up in every conceivable way. No interesting character in reality or fiction is such a "perfect construct".

So personally I aim to go 8 LoreBard / 4 GOOlock because that's my very own "character fantasy" of a character I've been playing for 20+ years now in various settings. It has grown on me.
I don't care if minmaxers scream their faces off reg. how "inefficient" that build may be. I don't think in "builds" or "efficiency" at all when playing D&D. It's not Diablo or WoW, but it's an actual roleplaying game. Meant to tell a story about your character and their journey through the world(s), and not just a an action game where the only meaningful choices are "how do you kill things?"
