And you can lace all the spokes heads in to further balance tension side to side. But most folks frown on moving the driving spokes to the so-called non-drive side. If your hub shell is stiff enough, it shouldn't make any difference. And modern hub shells that are big enough in diameter to accommodate oversize axles meet that requirement. Nevertheless most folks wouldn't do it. I have built wheels like that and they worked great, yet I would hesitate to call the traditional design wrong.
