Vace...gonna give you my honest opinion here....hope i don't offend.

I think the region would make a great map if you zoomed in quite a bit and used the islands etc up close.

As it stands, no i don't think its a good idea, unless you have some xtra zxtra special gameplay ideas.

Perhaps this area for instance could be great.

I agree... except about the xtra zxtra gameplay. I've never liked gimmicky maps, though, so I'm kind of biased.
I've been thinking about doing this for a while, although I went with using islands around the strait instead of the landbridge. Showing the curvature of the earth is a good idea, though it shouldn't be too extreme (Great Lakes is a great example).
One more thought: Maybe there could be big bonuses for the North American and Asia sections, and subcontinents inside these.
