Is there anything wrong doing it like this?

I'm not sure about capping a gas pipe in a wall. I'd be afraid to
do that and get a gas buildup in there.

The other problem is that you should have a licensed plumber check
your work for code compliance or you will have a problem when it
comes time to sell the house. I'd be concerned that you have a large
enough supply to run both the furnace and HW heater at the same time.

Unless his laws are different than mine, all he needs is the inspectors approval
of his work. No plumber need be involved.
