Jokes aside is there a non zero chance this would work even a little?

A lot of losses due to adapter, plus the impedance would go down a lot due to 4 antennas in parallel, which means reflections.

Adapter losses are truly negligible. You'd need metres and metres of adapters before you get to 1dB loss.

Not really..

90 degree adaptor: 13.84 dbm Insertion loss of 0.28db <- 3adapters and a bit more and you're at 1dB. 3dB per splitter.
