Your example is a bit...obscure...

You would just miss the Catalyst-isms making your life a bit easier.
But why not just use this?

     package MyApp::Base::DBIC;
     use base 'DBIx::Class';
     1;

     package MyApp::Model::DBIC;
     use base qw/Catalyst::Model MyApp::Base::DBIC/;
     1;

It's all just best practices, nothing is enforced.
