People have custom driver station software as it is, that makes running a backup DS less than optimal but teams still do it when they have to. Also the majority of teams would not utilize this feature, just like the majority of teams don't use custom dashboard widgets, etc.

I think it would fall under the same ruling as the current method getting match time through code. Don't rely on it, it's not legal for replays, and use it at your risk.
