That's assuming there is no capacitive effect there to screw your phase alignement. i.e. probably not a good idea in real world.

The power line frequency is low enough that I have never seen it not work even with massively different transformer sizes.  The phase shift is just not that great.

It is not uncommon to do with only one transformer.  A low voltage floating winding can be placed in series or anti-series to buck or boost the voltage of the main winding which would otherwise require multiple taps.
