I guess my major criticism is that what you're trying to accomplish would be more functional and adaptable if it was basically an Artificer that specialized in potions. As it is, you're making one of those "let's add these spells to your spell list" feats.

I personally like those types of feats. And this one gives a flavour of not being magical yourself, which has mattered for a few characters that I have had.

Sure, if you're a potion-flinger rogue, I guess. I'm not sure it's going to matter much after about level 10, though.
