I don't see any reason to put yourself in the possible situation of needing the 2-point conversion just to tie if it fails after the 1st TD. Put it off, then you've got the choice to tie or win down 23-22.

Scenario 1 - Go for it on the 1st TD

1. Make the 2 pt, kick the XP - Win
2. Miss the 2 pt, make the 2pt - OT
3. Miss the 2 pt, miss the 2pt - Lose

Scenairo 2 - Go for it on the 2nd TD

1. Make the XP, Make the 2pt - Win
2. Make the XP, Miss the 2pt - Lose

Your strategy takes the OT out of the equation. It's always better to get information earrlier rather than later. If you wait and miss the 2pt conversion on the 2nd try, you can't go back and go for 2pts on the first try.
