Your arrangement sounds logical to me. You will also want if at all possible to use different physical drives under the ASM diskgroups. Most sites hand ASM logical devices rather than true physical devices and I for one would like to know for a fact that my disk based database backup file copies/sets really are on different physical drives from my database files.
If ASM can have too many diskgroups it is a number more than 3.
