This seems a useful change to me. However, this is not valid R6RS.
From <http://www.r6rs.org/final/r6rs.pdf>:

(cond hcond clause1i hcond clause2i . . . ) syntax
=> auxiliary syntax
else auxiliary syntax
Syntax: Each hcond clausei must be of the form
(htesti hexpression1i . . . )
where htesti is an expression. Alternatively, a
hcond clausei may be of the form
(htesti => hexpressioni)

This seems a compatibility pitfall, so maybe note
in the documentation that using definitions in the clauses
is a Guile and Racket extension and not standard R6RS?

(I try to write Scheme code as R6RS / R7RS library & define-library
forms, importing mostly R6RS / R7RS & SRFI libraries, though I occasionally
use a Guile extension.)
