Close to what I'd do, but I'd use delete-pattern instead of tag-pattern and gloss over a step :-)
I'd use the tagging instead as well. Not being an expert with Mutt's patternmatching, I'd like to see what I just marked for deleting before I zapped it.
Also, the patterns can be built on date ranges, emails between certain dates,emails greater then X days old, etc. It's all in the fine manual.
