I think it will dry out too fast, use your coarse vermiculite it's better than coco coir

Coco Coir is generally used as a substrate in bulk grows.

Leave the coir for casing if your not going to do bulk grows.
50/50 coir/verm is a decent casing mix.
I've used 100% coir as casing with good results.
