Not at all! This topic of conversation is entirely relevant. Assuming you watched the video, you can see that even my single motored version is a little jerky as well. In most videos, its actually running on speed step 1 or 2, and it flies around. Not good for a little 44 tonner! Its going to need some adjusting.
If you find a way to increase the reliability and the smoothness, by all means share it. Like I said, this 44 tonner and my Trackmobile are all I have for the task, so I want them operating perfectly. The only plans I have for supplementing these locos are MAYBE a 45 tonner, because they do have those neat siderods (and I helped work on one once).
It definitely seems like your two motored one will be a worthwhile project.
