I've done this, but I think it's unreliable for professional use. The
USB modems are non-standard so if one burns you can't exchange it for
a different one without feasible but time consuming tweaking (tried
more then one USB devices...).
Even for Ethernet briding devices I only use models which are
delivered by ISPs (rather than retail shop devices), to garantee they
were tested for stability:

These models run forever in bridged mode. The second one accepts
multiple PPPoE clients on different ports.
That's expectable since using PPPoA instead of PPPoEoA, reduces the
overhead. But I don't know a standard PPPoA setup.
But if we want QoS working, we can't use the full line capability
anyway.
Even if that happens, it would hardly compensate the risk of lower
reliability.
All very valid points and things to consider. However for a home
environment / non critical environment, it provides a lot of potential.
