Using relays has advantages, but the disadvantage:
1) no speed control, no way to make the movements of the motor smooth with soft start/stop
2) more power consumption
3) eventually wear out if mechanical relays.
4) no current feedback to prevent stalls. You will have to use end of travel switches or rudder feedback.
Otherwise, it should be ok to use relays if you accept the tradeoffs.
