Structuring functions in functions.php and 'template_redirect

[endolil]

Hi there,

I am programming some features for a child theme of Genesis, where I basically use custom fields to display different widgets and I also include files to output content based on settings that I manage via custom fields in different pages.

I had issues retrieving the current post ID via get_the_ID(); and so I figured out that when I put my functions in this code

// add features/content etc at a certain point in the process
add_action('template_redirect', function() {

This is a solution but I am not sure how clean it is and if it may have a negative impact on my sites performance.
I am working with different, custom sidebars and so far this have been the only way to make it work.

Does it make sense to use this function as a "container" for many other functions in the functions.php?
For example I have a lot going with things like :

remove_action( 'genesis_sidebar_alt', 'genesis_do_sidebar_alt' );
// Place custom Sidebar into the Primary Sidebar area.
add_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'sk_genesis_do_sidebar' );

So I basically would like to find out if the way I chose is the best way of if people would recommend another way.
