The only real problem I see is the way the cable is fastened at the top.
You should install a vertical stud next to the chase so that the romex
can come straight out of the chase and be secured to the stud with
proper clamps/straps/staples.
I would be a bit concerned about fire stopping the chase so it can't act
as a chimney. You should be able to get a bag of intumescent material
from an electrical supply house that can be stuffed in the end of the
chase to stop fires. Easily removable when you need to access the chase,
but when exposed to fire will expand to seal fully.


Or you could run one fat cable, and put a sub-panel at the top.

What a great idea, when you trip a breaker you get to climb up into the
attic in the dark to reset it.

You could run another small cable, so there would be light up there.
