You'd still need to apply a second layer after the etching. There's less risk of misalignment if the solder mask is all applied at once, so might as well use the more appropriate resist.
Why is that? I understand there is a tiny layer of exposed copper on the side of the traces but copper tends to form a protective layer of oxide.
