This is not as secure as the cog/lockring combo on a track hub because these have left hand threads for the lockring. When you backpedal on a suicide hub, eventually the twisting is going to move the cog, and that will loosen the lockring. On the track hub, this rubbing force is in the direction that tightens the lockring.
THIS!
what happens if you backpedal? in the setup you are suggesting you probably lose some teeth.
