Well @Daniel, I've been doing that way already and using the chef_gem resource and ordered execution of recipes.

I was trying to get feedback whether I'm going in the wrong direction.

There's a lively discussion going on in chef-dev about this topic. You can read the current archives here:

…if you're not subscribed to that list.

My summary is that people feel that compile-time resources should be avoided where possible, but there are some cases where it's the only currently available way to load extensions into Chef.
