I tried a similar thing years ago (I wrote about it somewhere on the blog but I can't find it). I used the original 3T method and filled it from an AF list (AF4 I think).
The difference seems to be that you are doing the other way round, i.e. using AF as a task within 3T. That certainly sounds a promising approach though I would classify it as more "catch all" than "no-list". Not that that matters as long as the work gets done!

My "no-lists" comprises 3 items. I rotate around them in time boxes of 25 minutes each. When an item is done it's replaced immediately so there are always 3 tasks or projects in progress.
One of the items is usually my AF list.
This approach allows me to give considerable time and focus to one or two bigger projects whilst still being able to deal with the smaller tasks that I might otherwise forget.
I'm finding that I'm making significant progress on work that would not "stand out" when just using an AF catch all approach.
