This is a good way to go. SA-MP+/SA-MP Live both had potential but required client sided plugins that to my knowledge weren't properly advertised (correct me if I'm wrong).

The way I'd do it is first use it to add 'extras' to your gamemode, like colored checkpoints for people using it instead of normal red ones, or web-browser overlays (similar to steam) that let you browse the server forum from in-game. Tell your players that they can get these extras for free.
If you really want to push adaptation, you could give a slimmed version of premium (premium-lite?) to people who have the client installed. That way you actually reward people for taking the effort to install extra software and it helps making the project more popular. In any case, don't limit what other players can do without the plugin.

Your key issue will be illegal distribution of the software. All players and server owners should download their copy from an open-source git repository to ensure that the security of the players isn't compromised.
