I do not think that it will work, I think it will continue to drain the tank until it hits the first hole in the tank drain, then loose suction.
But I am not totally sure,

my take on a skimmerless pvc overflow

I think you need to have a "skimmer" part so that water stops going into the overflow, unless it is on a closed loop, then get rid of the hole.

It would work, i have seen several designs online that is just a slight modification, and a better one IMO. would keep the siphon primed all the time but stop sucking water out of the tank once it is below the outlet on the "T" fitting that works as a vent, after that the water would be at equal pressure and happy, untill then it just pushes the excess out the side.

The overflows look different but the water flows exactly the same. For more pictures of the overflows in action, search through Richardhmc's threads. I flow tested them but didn't take pictures of them in action.

When you ask for feed back, not everyone is going to agree with you. May be I am wrong, and that is fine with me, but I was not attacking you so

Here's that thread from Richardhmc's end of it.
