It's not only risky, it's nearly impossible.
Most clients don't pin notes effectively, or at all, and the timelines are a linear shit-show, so the PfP is the only place you can put a new picture, where most of your followers will see it. I used to just pin them to the top of my feed, on Twitter, and had a painting as an avatar. Everyone arriving new or just curious could see the new picture and the avatar hardly ever changed.
