Too much for the coverage and size/weight/price goals to be well-corrected.
Too much for general use, just get yourself a few primes to taste between 24-50mm, a medium tele prime, possibly two depending on what you shoot, and a tele zoom for when you can't adjust your vantage point.
Use one normal or wide FL most of the time, one of whichever one you pick for when the other isn't suited, the medium tele for portaits and/or events, and the tele zoom for when you physically cannot zoom with your feet, e.g. shooting some boats in the middle of a bay or whatever
Or if you really prefer a zoom, one in the focal length range you usually use or whatever and then one fast prime for when you don't have any light, then the MT and TZ.
Set.

So to return, yes, fail. Slow, poorly corrected, does not encourage good shooting or good shooting habits. Probably very obtrusive, too.
