No, this strategy won't work for two reasons: 1) edgecolor=facecolor is not the same as not drawing the edge; it leads to artifacts that can be very damaging. 2) the backends implement patch rendering which inherently includes both the edge and the fill, so we can't avoid having mechanisms for telling the backend whether to stroke the former and/or paint the latter.
