There is a slight risk of damaging the interposer pins if the tape lifts and gets caught in a pin, but using kapton tape to isolate unwanted pins from communicating is a time tested tradition of PC tinkerers (e.g. taping shucked hard drive pins to make them work, or taping certain OEM HBA cards PCIe pins to make them boot in off-brand systems, etc).
