That's the plan. But if I'm going to incorporate a water reservoir I'd like the substrate to be able to wick water from it if I forget to water or if I go away for a couple of weeks and have to get someone to look after the terrarium. It's safer to ask them to underwater rather than risk overwatering.

Yup. And then they under-water, and life is good. First, you have to put it into practice, then you start tweaking it until it suits your particular culture.
