is this a good or bad idea?
It's an okay idea really, it has its pros and cons. It can get complicated if someone signs in with Mastodon and then moves to a different Mastodon instance, and there's also the question of what happens if that Mastodon account gets banned (assuming an unjust ban).
Really just the same issues as a sign in with Google button, minus the privacy issue. Very convenient, but not without its potential issues
