IMO yes, it's a bad idea. The laminate joins will spread because
the carpet will allow it to flex too much.

You can lay a laminate floor on top of carpet, as long as the carpet and
underlay are less than 7mm thick and they're laid on top of wooden
floorboards, chipboard parquet, vinyl, rubber or linoleum. You'll need to
remove the carpet or underlay if it's thicker than 7mm or if it's laid on a
concrete, cement screed or bitumen floor.
