It wouldn't make much sense.

It makes more sense that Dooku appear on the council in TPM (physically or in holographic form) and Sidious remain Palpatine, otherwise where does Palpatine's rise as a powerful force using dictator come from?

That shouldn't change, just not so in your face like it was in the prequels. By having Dooku be "The Phantom Menace" you have a more interesting reveal in ep. 2. Palpatine was way too obvious. He would still play both sides the same way he always had, just not all stupid-like. Why the heck would you risk showing off your face in a hologram like that??? While you're looking at Dooku as "The almighty villian" you get taken back when he's killed so quickly in 3 allowing Palpy to make his rise to power.... And making it far more interesting.

Not to mention this way is far more feasible than trying to shoehorn Dooky into the council meeting where he has no spoken lines at all.
