I don't know if that would fly. As I understand it, a large part of
the purpose of extension signing is to protect users from malicious
add-ons that get installed by non-AMO means - sideloading, installed
by other apps, and so on. If we ignore the non-AMO add-ons then we're
not really solving any problems worth solving. (Caveat: I don't have
access to any actual data on the numbers and types of malicious
add-ons, but from what I've heard I believe this to be the case. I
could be wrong.)
