I left my RV in Baja for several years and flew back and forth. Just kept the Mexican insurance in effect and the US license plates up to date. Never had an issue.

I've not stored in Cabo but have in Pescadero and La Paz. No problem with lapsed plate/registration while stored but I would be current when on the road.

You don't need to import unless you want to. Probably some MX law about vehicles stored down here if you don't live here f/t.

Excellent plan. Do it.
