Home schooling is fine, but school is designed to give more than just educating pupils. Homeschoolers don't tend to realise all the little things until it is too late.

Homeschooling is fine, but you have to make sure your kids interact other kids, as they would in school, and make sure they get the same amount of exercise. Make sure they attend plenty of after-school clubs, and games.

The only worry is, if you homeschool until secondary school, and then send them back to school. The leap from primary school to secondary school is big enough, from homeschool to secondary school would probably be massive. How to tackle that best might be something you'd have to consider.
