Off the top of my head, the one area of concern is that on startup the archiving process does check the wall time clock to figure out the bounds of the archive record it is working on. It might be possible to change that to using the timestamp of the first LOOP packet, but there's also likely to be lots of unattended consequences to doing so.
Still, if the effort to set things up is not too expensive, I'd say, "Try it!" The normal way of doing a catch up is through genArchiveRecords() but, of course, that would require that you do your own archive record generation --- not an easy task.
