Good thought but from exp you need a very heavy duty sewing machine to go through the tubing and rope.
The thickness or density is not the problem. It is the tubing gripping the thread when the needle moves. The machine cannot keep the correct tension on the thread to make a proper stitch.
I had access to an industrial sewing lab at university and tried to make harness lines and couldn't get the stitching correct. The webbing and velcro and all the rest is fine but the rope filled tubing into the webbing never worked.
i have a reactor bar and have only needed to replace harness lines to try different lengths...and to get the now dated fashionable white ones....
