I am building a workbench out of 2*4 (cheap and easy :-) and my original
plan was to make a hole in the middle of it to insert my router and have a
workbench/router table all in one.

Why not? It may not be a nice as having a separate table, but is sure
better than having nothing. Biggest problem I see is clearing the bench
when you need to use it. OTOH, clearing the bench is something I should do
more of anyway.
