Have you tried it? A clever idea, and I can't see how it could cause any damage if it works.

That is a VERY interesting use of the loop section on the amp.

It probably would work, maybe Mike Brown will see this and chime in. My rig is MSA, TTfex, Hilton ped. and NV400. Later.

As long as you keep the output level of the TT Fex low you should be OK. The TT Fex is designed to be used as the preamp and effects processor and to drive a power amp with "line level". "line level" would cause severe overloading on the amp input.

You might want to consider using the low gain input on the amp rather than the "normal" input. That will help in minimizing overloading in case you get the output level of the TT Fex too high.
