I believe we playtested something very much like this (without the last sentence, which is well worth adding, though there's no modifier for being at zero...). It meant that anyone with any sense made sure to have Toughness.
I for one don't really like "must-have" abilities. (In our recent GURPS game, almost all characters ended up with Disease Resistance, because we were playing in the 11th Century and the GM said he was going to run a very realistic game. So everyone had the advantage and it wasn't realistic :-)
Of course, the current Final Action rules are related, but temper the "must-have" nature by allowing only one action.
