It would... But I have no idea about its longevity or its linearity, Probably with a dry airflow service life is less than optimal (movement and no lubrication) but crankcase pressure always contains some oil mist. That should ensure proper sealing.

I could see that working, but probably you will need an additional sensor to control the actual sensor, because I think the RPM will have influence on the gasflow. Especially with 2-strokes, where the throttle affects crankcase peak pressure.
