Yes, you could totally do an online only onedrive. I use it quiet often for my personal files from work. Just don't configure your local sync client to talk and you're good to go.

Without bitlocker or encryption of your drive you are right, someone gets your laptop they can just remove the hard disk and connect it to another computer and read right from it.
But anyway, to answer your question your scenario with using OneDrive will work great if you always have connectivity. Also don't forget, the OneDrive mobile app is fantastic for getting to files on the go as well :).
