The only problem I can see with that is when you try to run a cleaning patch from chamber to muzzle, it would get confusing.

You would need the 22 wmr off set a very long way to reach the firing pin
Then you would need to very accurately time the 22 wmr
Also both barrels would shoot massively off line of the barrel exterior

I have made off set liners to bring .32 RF to .22 LR 1.6mm offset
.25 RF to .22 WMR 1.2mm offset
All muzzles are perfectly concentric so timing to get firing pin strike in right location makes a huge impact on where the barrel points and where the bore shoots

Way more complex than is obvious to most
