The Soviets already looked into something like that for a plane launched SSTO called MAKS.

Fun fact, the MAKS was planned to use a tripropellant rocket engine which is fueled by liquid oxygen, RP-1, and liquid hydrogen. It can adjust the exact mixture ratio between all three during flight to maximize thrust or efficiency depending on which is needed more.

N, too complex for little to no performance increase over just using the combustion products themselves. Something along your line of thinking is a tripropellant engine which uses conventional kerolox or methalox but injects hydrogen into the chamber for increased ISP.

pic related an engine that did the same concept for an proposed soviet SSTO

>The RD-701 is a curious design in rocket engineering by being a tripropellant engine.
