Threaded 1" forks too short - would conversion to threadless be a solution?

For sure it's a bodge. But it's meant to be used on a bike that is not used much anyway, maybe once a week or less. And as long as the bodge doesn't mean that I lose my teeth but instead is just a headset-eater, I am fine. I will definitely try this just to see how misaligned the headset actually is.
I am just curious if anyone has an actual situation in mind where my bodge would actually cause a sudden dangerous bigger failure.
