The point being made by myself (and I think some of the others) was to be sure you weren't wasting your money.
Others questioned the legality aspect which you feel you have researched.
I questioned the value of these hours to a future employer. As a box ticking exercise for the ATP, fine.
To add value to your ability as a helicopter pilot, less so.
If you are pursuing a niche "Day VFR" career, that's ok. It can be rewarding and valuable.
However if you are hoping to break out into other fields, most employers will look at those hours as being exactly what they are, hour building - not experience.
In a similar way thousands of offshore flying may equate to lots of cruise hours with some intense arrivals and departures. Not what every employer is looking for.
If your eyes are wide open and these course of action fulfills your requirements, go for it.
