Yes this would be the better approach.
1) Except the overhead is now shifted to the application, which may or not be better. You are also moving the audit responsibility to the application and the application maintainers and making it application specific. If a new application/client starts hitting the database and it did not get the memo about the audit fields they won't be filled in.
2) I would recommend setting up a some realistic tests and see if the overhead of the update triggers would be a concern.
