I actually think it is possible and is a reasonable plan, though
backups will still be advised. I didn't suggest this at first
because initially we thought there were unequal-sized devices (4T

In my long but limited experience (all experience is limited!) usually
the problem isn't in explaining the problem, or in even solving the
problem, it's in grasping what it *really* is in the first place.
Especially so when it is explained to you by someone who doesn't
understand the problem --
In my wife's experience, "you are now 23rd in the queue" - so perhaps,
yes! Slower than a check on a 8TiB drive, which does at least,
eventually, complete or fail.
