Controlling a team in real time just results in depersonalizing the creatures to wield them as a troop or automating them.
On this specific point; I disagree! There's no reason a turn based combat system should offer a more personal experience of the player's creatures vs. any other type.
Tactics Arena Online is the closest example (I know of) to what you described in the OP.

So, anyone have any thoughts or opinions about a game like this?
It sounds like a fine idea. I might push you towards an Active-time turn-based style rather than the classic XCOM style turn-based. Grandia 2 is a good example of this, though I was disappointed that the spatial component of that combat system was not under the players control.
There was a discussion of turn based MOG parallelism a while back.
EDIT: Terrible terrible grammar
