You'd be dramatically changing the foil section and wouldn't be significantly changing the angle at which the foil pierces the water surface. You'd also end up with the safety risk of a sharp foil tip. I've never tried it, but I doubt it'd work out well.
But if it's an old foil that doesn't have much value, experiment away. You'll learn something, if nothing else.

Absolutely learn to get up, taxi and get on foil in your weak stance. You'll find yourself very limited if you don't. I didn't allow myself to favor a stance for my first few years of foiling, and am glad I approached it that way.
I'll sometimes get up on foil toeside. It shouldn't be a beginner's plan A.

I learned on a 3m PRv2, at ~65 kg, 66l midlength, and Armstrong 780 foil. I was super happy learning on that size in the gorge. The 3m covers the gorge's version of light to moderate days.
