I'm using a 2012 Mini with OWC's Data Doubler Kit and a 750GB SSD so obviously I'm biased to say this is a good idea. You can still upgrade to 16GB in the future and 2 internal drive bays leaves expansion there, too. Have you disassembled a Unibody Mini before? It's pretty straightforward but all disassemblies are scary the first time.
IMO the only downside is the possibility of something failing soon as everything is 7-8 years old inside. That never stops me but your comfort level with old hardware may be different.
