Heh, that was a brilliant idea! I'm ashamed I didn't think about it myself! Too bad it doesn't work.

[Edit: didn't notice: "Horror". Hmmm, maybe it works with the regular summon? Question: what happens when you try to Control or Charm a Vastness if the Blood Vengeance kicks in - do you get charmed yourself? ]

I'd stick to Ritual of Returning + Returning anyway. It's the safer way to keep your summoner alive, and there's no reason to fight without purpose.

As for the cost: It is only 5 gold per turn... minimal. 150/15/2 (/2 for as priestly starspawns are sacred) = 5. And all the summons are upkeep-free.

You forget the initial investment. If, as I suspect, each attempt to summon incur a 5% chance to become insame, then you can expect a Starspawn priest to Last for ~14 turns, and therefore a turn spent at the Gate (note: not a summon) "costs" you 150/14 + 5 ~ 15.7 gold.
