The real question is - if this works for Reality, will this find its way into the meta? <.<

The answer is no:

I have seen several mech+ghost vs Toss games, and many wins with it.
The reason it worked was mostly because it surprised the opponent. If the opponent knows you are going mech or there is a high possibility, he maneuvres the way around you. Meaning, he abuses the fact that his army is way more mobile. Also mech takes very long to be strong (requires high numbers) as ground force- so you "just" need to go for an early push (sounds easier then it is ofc) or allin, to kill the mech player.
Maxed out mech usually also doesn't have too well of anti-air. And if you got Thors and the Opponent has HTs, feedback hits pretty hard.

But: its actually a good composition IF you ever make it to the maxed out mech + Ghosts.

So its basically not a very viable option. Its not bad, but its hard to execute and there are many ways to kill the mech player before he gets the composition he wants.
We will see it from time to time again (as we did already, every couple of months), and if you watch some players that ONLY play mech (or are known for likely going mech), you see you can have success with it. But most players will feel more comfortable with a faster/ more mobile army.
If LOTV Tanks (pickup by medivac) stay that way, mech could be more viable, since one of the biggest problems is the time between unsieging, moving, sieging and shooting (if you get attacked somewhere you don't have your army, as we have seen Reality losing his PF)
