I don't see why it should not work. Though you may need to regularly check to see if it leaks and causes overflow, since toilet is usually not 100% sealed when it is off, but the leak should be small and higher level of water the tighter it shuts off, as long as you give some margin in the shut off level I don't see any problem with it

Just make sure it is indeed "all plastic". Metal can sneek into all plastic products in places like hinge pins or rivets that hold gaskets and such. I use a horse trough water valve for my auto topoff and had to replace the hinge pin but otherwise it was "all plastic" just like the package said it was
