My personal taste sides with RdC. However, one could argue that a quick advance of central pawns is what black is actually trying to provoke.
Speaking specifically of this type of system against 1. d4, I toyed with these ideas for a while and found that the most irritating system for white was actually where he plays a solid Catalan type set up (although, I was actually always preferring to put my LSB on f5, not g4, which is slightly different).
Against 1. e4, however, I find it hard to believe that Black's position isn't simply bad if white plays an Austrian Attack-type set up. See the Czech-Pirc (dubious at best), for example, where Black plays ...Qa5 early on to pressure white's big centre (having played ...c6, ...d6, ...Nf6). It seems your idea would be similar to a Czech-Pirc, but the queen is on c7, instead of the more active a5. Obviously you're playing an early Bg4 too, but I don't see how that's useful, really.
Summary: Bad idea if white plays aggressively with f4. If white plays Nf3 without f4, perhaps it's like a Czech-Pirc with your queen already on c7, which is probably an inferior version. You might try to transpose into something like a Philidor by getting ...e5 in, but then your Bishop is on g4 which isn't often right.
