It's hard to say if the TIPM would let you get away with it, but you won't know until you try. The TIPM receives a lock/unlock signal from the liftgate switch and then supplies the latch solenoid power. That's the way the factory does it anyways and the TIPM may not like the rear door lock solenoid drawing more than its prescribed current draw.
Do you have the soft-touch liftgate latch release or is it a mechanical latch handle with a key lock cylinder right now? You might want to look for a salvage parts car that has the factory electric release.
