The standard EADGBE exists because it is versatile and easy for beginners.

I don't think it's necessarily the greatest idea to base your tuning off the idea it will help you progress to other stringed instruments. The guitar is often used for chords, so its requirements are very different from the violin & Co. Guitars are fretted, so the precise hand placement is going to end up a little off. In general, it's just a very different instrument. There are fretted instruments with violin-style tuning, though: mandolin, for example.

Additionally, I'd be concerned about only having 5 strings for any long period of time. The tension in strings on the guitar do help hold the neck in its proper position. One less string is a little less force.
