Good luck with moisture wicking through the outer shell and into your sleeping gear
And good luck trying to get it 'more lightweight' than a tarp considering you have to protect more surface area with a pea pod style design.
GENERALLY when someone comes up with a 'good' idea theres' already a reason it's not been adopted or proposed by others.
If you want lightweight a hammock + asymmetrical tarp is going to be the lightest combo.
There are loads of other downsides to your idea:
No protected space when not in the hammock, for cooking for example.
No protected space to put your pack/boots hone you're in the hammock.
Unable to take down the hammock first in poor weather/set up the tarp first in poor weather.
Means you don't have a stand-alone tarp for when you stop for a break (lunch time)
The ONLY time IMO that this kind of thing works well is when it's used in very cold conditions as a means of trapping air (and so allowing it to warm), in conjunction with a tarp when the weather is bad.
