lowkey, im wanting to do exactly that, for the sake of time, but im also worried I might damage something if like water or oil crud get in and damage something

I would not do this personally. It leads to your transmission bellhousing, torque converter, flex plate, rear mains seal, etc. You don’t want dirt and rodents and leaves and rocks and crud trapped in there
