This should be possible IMO, and is something I will be trying soon.
The only limitation is the PCB, if the PCB is designed to take both the type of switches _AND_ is designed so that the centers of the switch (mounting point actually) coincide, then you should be able to.
Regarding caps and profiles, I think Tai Hao produces the same profile (OEM) for both types. Maybe even SP.
As for the reason why, the bets reason I can think of is stabs, this is the reason I am going to experiment with a hybrid since it is extremely tedious to find alps stabs and there is also a lot of variance, as I would be using a set which has already been produced and has alps stabs so there is no option of having Cherry-compatible stabs and alps switch, I will instead use MX for all the mods.
