I think it'll depend on whether there are any differences between the driver's seat and passenger seat that affect how they connect to the car. If there are, the location of the airbags on the seat will prevent their use. If they're the same between left and right side, it would probably work fine assuming the cables reach the necessary connectors.

Assuming you are not gonna switch them left to right as otherwise the airbags will be on the wrong side, the driver performance seat has more adjustability than the passenger seat. The driver seat can adjust both the lower side bolsters and the upper side bolsters, while the passenger seat can only adjust the upper side bolsters. Since you'll effectively be sitting in the passenger seat if you do this, then you as the driver don't get the full adjustability.

Good point on the side bolsters adjustment, didn’t realise of that
