If done on the primary side the output will be as balanced as it ever was and you only need one winding.
But many more turns. To get lower output voltage, you will need to add primary turns or subtract fewer secondary turns.

If the two output widings are not identical, then it may be better to run each into its own bridge rectifier, then recirculating currents will be eliminated.
