It is quite clever, isn't it? I feel like the tale-in-a-tale conceit is one Tolkien quite enjoyed but never did enough with, so it's nicely fitting. Using the Rohirrim for the story was a good choice, because they don't have good records or memories of the First Age - their tales don't have to match what the rest of the Legendarium tells us, because they're just... tales.
