Yep, that's what I was using lately, us + compose key.
I just found 3 keys too painful : é à and ç are directly available on the
azerty layout, and are quite frequently needed.
Now I have them available with two keys : altgr+w, altgr+a, altgr+c, which is
still practical.

But indeed, the compose key would be very useful for writing a wide range of
characters that are not too frequent.
