I don't think this changes that it would still be a cool idea. Playing it after the fact wouldn't change the point of mgs2 either. 

You would still experience and get the thematic elements of playing as Raiden and completing the story first.

Then as extra content (or now as I assume the OP is talking about) would be fun to fans. 

Unless you retcon things like the MGS2 comic did, where Snake, not Raiden, battle'd Solidus, I don't think it would go beyond a "cool idea". There's not enough material there to make something worthwhile than a one-hour extra that's already too late to be released. Snake doesn't fight any boss (save for one that he canonically loses to), and other than the bomb-defusing thing that you also do with Raiden, you'll have to stretch the imagination to add more worthwhile things that go beyond entering a strut and clearing it from enemies.
