This sounds like a strategy that tries to do a lot in one game:
- Upgrade agriculture and get lots of corn
- Upgrade architecture and build lots of buildings (partly using corn)
- Get fourth worker
- Upgrade other techs using buildings
- Climb the temples (also using buildings?)
- Place the skull received from temple
- Build two monuments
If it works, it's obviously winning. But in practice, I think it will be hard to do everything you propose, especially with just 4 workers. The risk of not being able to do everything becomes even bigger when opponents start double-turning the wheel, speeding up the game. I do like the fact that because you want to do so much, it will be hard to block you. Have you tried to pull it off?

Yes, climbing the temples will be mostly from buildings, either from Shrines or Civics, because upgrading techs in agriculture when it's maxed gives you a temple climb of your choice ;)
The delicate thing is if there's a need for resource extraction and theology tech upgrading, it seems to be optional, depending on the monuments you focus, or maybe not...
The two monuments is a delicate part, I don't know if it's really viable, or if with some fixes it'll be easier to pull it off, or if the many things that I want are enough with only one monument...
I didn't test it yet and will only be able to test next month, I'm going to travel; I'm brazilian and will live in Hungria for an year! There I'll buy the game and look for playing partners! (wanna buy the expansion as soon as it gets out too)
