I hadn't thought about this till now, but the caliper definitely won't have been designed to act as a stressed member like that. It's probably fine (lol) but I wonder what magnitude of additional stress you'll be exposing the caliper to.
(Edit: I guess you could get a lil brace machined to protect the caliper from buckling)
