Tough yes but not suicidal as most SR sides will be without their AB. The Hurricanes without the 2 Savea, Beauden Barrett, TJ, Coles and a couple others (possibly Jordy Barrett) are not the same side. Still plenty of quality (enough to beat any NH team - on their day) but any Lions 2nd XV side with a bit of quality in it should/must be competitive against these guys. Different story for the first 2 games as both the Blues and Crusaders will be with their AB.
Just think 6 games before the first test is probably a couple too many.

Take a first XV, plus a second XV. Play your starting first XV v Crusaders 2 weeks before the 1st test. Play the second XV in all weekday matches, and a mixed XV in all other Saturday matches giving the starting members a run out.
