I researched a bit:
CST Schematic view:
zoom with mouse wheel (turn wheel ‘away’ from user = zoom out)
move with mouse wheel /middle button press
context menu with right button click
CorelDraw2019:
zoom with mouse wheel (turn wheel ‘away’ from user = zoom in)
move with mouse wheel /middle button press
context menu with right button click
Excel365:
zoom with CTRL + mouse wheel (turn wheel ‘away’ from user = zoom in)
move with mouse wheel /middle button press
context menu with right button click
Firefox
zoom with CTRL + mouse wheel (turn wheel ‘away’ from user = zoom in)
context menu with right button click
Rhino-ceros CAD v5
zoom with mouse wheel (turn wheel ‘away’ from user = zoom in)
move with right mouse button press
context menu with mouse wheel /middle button press
KiCad 6
zoom with mouse wheel (turn wheel ‘away’ from user = zoom in)
move with right mouse button press
context menu with right button click
I don’t see any argument against your plan.
Additionally I suggest making sure to set “turn wheel away from user = zoom in”
