As a general administrative guideline, it is NEVER a good idea to change the functional design of the OS unless you fully understand the implications of your change. You do not.

Since you asked us for our opinion on whether it is advisable for you to alter the OS's function rather than use it as designed.... I must answer NO, it is not advisable. A) It is not best practice. B) There are alternatives we've already mentioned, such as /var/tmp or mounting a standard filesystem for your non-temporary files. C) You have not demonstrated via this forum that you have sufficient knowledge, skill, or self-reliance to manage the customization and any unforeseen operational impacts that may arise.
