Fine for fixed frequencies (aeolus works this way but not per octave,
all notes are precomputed separately), but becomes problematic if the
you allow frequency modulation over a wide range.
Can be combined with oversampling to make interpolation easier.

This could be done very efficiently, in particular if you accept some
compromises for the lowpass filter, and even more if the waveforms can
be summed before downsampling.
There are other methods, depending on what sort of waveforms
you want to generate.
