You could do that and it would work, but I wouldn’t recommend it for this reason. Breakers have a spring to cause them to open when the bimetallic gets overheated then spring is released to trip. You start tripping and resetting it’s going to cause internal wear and weaken parts which could cause premature tripping over time. And if I’m not mistake they recommend not using them for a switch.
