I know of at least two other couples who do this and while it is not ideal (having to rush and make trips just to get the passport stamped before a certain date to comply with the laws is never fun), it is probably the most efficient solution to the problem - and gives the flexibility to remain in the US as long as you want.
There is an additional upside and one
very big downside to this strategy. The upside is that with PR you can work in the US as much or as little as you want, and nobody will bother you about that. The big downside is that as a PR, you are now required to pay US taxes on your worldwide income. At the very least, this puts you in the sights of the IRS as somebody who's due to pay taxes (not to mention the additional paperwork you'll go through every year for the rest of your life) and at the very worst, could increase your tax bill from your current situation.
