I actually put more blame on the failure at Chancellorsville to result in a strategic victory on Jackson than on Lee.
He should have had his corps moving soon after midnight instead of 4 am. He didn't leave himself enough time. Thus the need for a night action.
But you have to admire the audacity

Oh certainly. The balls on both men were huge that day. However, I do like to note that while that plan was very audacious, another - more audacious - march was starting around that same time below Vicksburg in Mississippi. Grant had cut himself off from his communications and supply base, entered enemy territory, and marched quickly through the state while outnumbered, fought and won five separate battles, before besieging an entire army within Vicksburg.
