But even if I had no lips, I would prefer using a percussive tongue and
palatal sound or glottal stop, or even my fingers on my palm to approximate
a /b/, at least for my language (French) which do not use them as

with such a dental percussive sound. If someone suggested to use teeth, he
may not have considered how harmfull this sound could be... better suggest
something else!
And there was a great weeping, and a gnashing of teeth....
