Your hack may still break, because supporting it is not currently a
documented consideration in deciding what to publish.

Say ISP C decides to phase out all use of the ISP A domain, except to
forward mail from the legacy addresses to each customer's new address at
ISP C's domain.  Then, since no further legitimate mail is expected to
bear the ISP A domain in the envelope sender, "v=spf1 -all" becomes a
reasonable SPF record for that domain.
