If I understand what you're saying, you are going to keep the first finger in place barring all strings even if you are playing a power chord on different strings and you will just adjust your 2nd and 3rd fingers to change the chord.

That can work sometimes, but I'd imagine you'll run into trouble with muting the top strings some times. You will actually have MORE to worry about with this method in terms of accuracy I think. Moving your index finger across strings is a skill you will NEED to have later on down the road anyways. Might as well learn to do it well now.
