Possibly the dumbest justification for doing something dumb I have ever heard. Congrats there I suppose. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Nobody is really beefing you, run it if you will. Promise we will be the first to laugh in the event of a failure, and we will continue to not give a shit if nothing happens.
It's just amusing how in light of correct information, the response is not a 'oh hey, guess I messed up and used a front specific, non-brake approved rim on the rear of my bike with a brake, guess I'll pony up, unlace it quick and throw something suitable on there cause it'll take like 45 miniutes' or 'guess it's not completely legit, I'll just keep it how it is' it's merely belligerent stubbornness and nonsense hearsay/anecdotal evidence that supports a janky setup.
They're not saying that just to talk shit, they actually have a point. It's advice, also advice that the guy should probably listen to.
A rim that's meant to have brakes will have a flat faced side, and will also be thicker to allow for wear... put succinctly: DESIGNED FOR IT.
My wife found out the real issue once when she was working as a bike mechanic and some tool had used a Stan's tubeless kit on a rim brake wheel and didn't tell her. He'd worn enough metal from using rim brakes that the sidewall of the rim gave out suddenly with her hand on the wheel and pretty much exploded in her face. After about 45 minutes she could hear again, the feeling came back in her fingers the next day.
Just because you can do something, and it works today, tomorrow or even a few months from now doesn't mean it's a good idea.... But hey, not many people have foresight.
I'm trying to get at the point at the point that all ya'll are harping this "pro" that what he does is wrong when it works for him.

when you work in a shop you start to realise that "well it works so it'll be fine" are the words of a true moron
