It feels weird to have this set of abilities for a creature half that is prevented both from attacking and blocking by the mechanic.
If the creature was applied for the untapped state you could at least block with it, maybe use vigilance to attack with it.
That aside this particular design doesn't go quite far enough in making the 'decision to tap' interesting enough. There is not zero synergy between the halves. In a weird way though the synergy lies in the creature-half undoing the life loss inflicted by the artifact half i. e. the card becomes less appropriate for black.
Maybe it would be more interesting and create a modicum of tension and decision-making to trigger on upkeep rather than end step? That way not waiting until the last moment with the artifact activation is rewarded in a similar way addendum works.
