And as a result your locos would suck up the ballast into the running gear.

Without giving it a lot of thought, it sounds like a fairly good idea to me. The only ‘negatives’ I can think of is a) you couldn’t do this under a switch since the tape would prevent the points from throwing smoothly (if at all) and b) the ballast wouldn’t have a realistic thickness in appearance and the ballast outside edges would be too uniform or straight.
