Yes, this can be a good idea.
I suggest you write a cron script that copies sudoers files with different configurations.
For example you create an sudoers file that does not permit sudoers (if that is what you want) and then keep that file in place (but make a copy); then on "Monday" for example, copy your current sudoers file in place which permits sudoers.
Then when Monday is "over" then copy your restrictive sudoers file in place.
This method can be very effective and you can control how users su "by the minute" if that pleases you. You can create any combination of permissions in sudoers files and move these files in and out of place as you like.
Interesting approach. sudo complains if you edit its file by outside means however -- how does one avoid this?
