That would be workable, but I feel like it shouldn't be necessary...

You should just be able to open the sessions directly from the external drive. With that in mind, consider this:
1-you should have all your work backed up to multiple locations, such as 2 separate external drives AND the cloud.
2-if sessions don't run well from your external drive, it may have a very slow drive inside the case(many use 5400 rpm or 5900 rpm drives). This is another good reason to stick with solid state external drives.
Yes, doing backups is boring and tedious, but there are 2 kinds of computer users: those that have had a data loss, and those that WILL have a data loss
