This is not just about being equal in power, it is also about both sides being appropriately cost at their respective cost which in this case are determined to be exactly these two mana costs.
So let's consider the question first: What would be an appropriate cost be for each of the halves as individual cards?
I like the symmetry but I think a lot more people would choose the dark side for that more potent sacrifice effect. This would probably be a monoblack staple in EDH.

Totally not balanced, black is way stronger.
A more symmetrical effect might be to make two 2/2 black Zombie creature tokens. However, then black would be weaker.

Hmmm. They are "play mono colour only" but with a choice of two colours.
Dunno. A bit more draftable, but no different for constructed than printing two different cards?
And I guessss late game the right dual-coloured deck can use them with a choice.
Extremely colored split cards. How bad design are they?

So much text... maybe make it rare and push the power level.
