Yes it makes sense, depending on what you want to achieve.
3 and 9 for stability.
12 for more outright power.
If you simply want to make your racket heavier overall, just add tape to 3, 9 and 12 and also the butt cap (same weight as what
you added to the head).

3 and 9 increases the sweet spot versus having anything to do with stability.
Pointless to respond any deeper until we know what you want to achieve verses how to stick a bunch of lead tape on a racquet.

I actually have this setup on my Wilson Clash Tours. I started initially with a half a gram of tungsten tape at the 12 o’clock position. I decided I wanted to add more weight and put a half a gram on the 3/9 o’clock positions as well. To me it balances the racquet with the weight being equally distributed. I don’t mind the new swing weight and i don’t feel the need to add any weight to the grip either.
Yes, I have done this in the past. at 12 will increase SW more for the same amount of weight being added than if you added it at 3/9. 3/9 increase twist weight. I actually like to add a little at noon to match rackets and get the SW up and then add at 3/9 for stability. Both areas increase power, stability and spin potential but to different degrees. Just try it.
