Deshrouding + removing backplate off the EVGA FTW3 Ultra 3070/3080; would it fit in the Dan A4?

Hi guys, so I saw this post on reddit and it made me curious. Obviously the FTW3 will not fit regularly in the Dan A4 since it is a very thick card. But what if one was to remove the shroud + backplate and add some slim Noctua fans? Would this make the card somewhat viable in the case?

I ask because the FTW3 is usually much more available than the XC3 on all the markets and stores I check... probably all the SFF builders claiming the slim ones haha. Or cheaper price I guess is also a factor.
