Reading fail from me. Split rings are made of tougher and thicker metal than key rings. It’s not too difficult to thread a 16g wire onto one (about the size of half a pencil lead), but if you’re going to fit an actual key onto the ring you might struggle. Edit- not had aliexpress ones but getting a fishing split ring open enough to take a key but not deform would be a challenge I think.
Edit2- if anyone’s interested, I have bought swivels and locking snaps from aliexpress and they worked really well sea fishing, fwiw, ymmv, etc etc
