Is there something inherently unsafe in that method?
Absolutely. You NEVER take your hand off the brake side of the rope. At all times you must have a hand on the brake side of the rope. Taking your hand off the brake side is an instant failure during a belay test in any reputable gym across the world.

If your right hand doesn’t actually ever leave the rope then your method is fine.
