If you did not see something in time to use the brake with your right foot and stop in 5 seconds what makes you think you will have seen it in time to stop in 4.95 seconds with your left foot?
Drive the way you want, if you feel you need every possible advantage to stay safe by all means do so. For me if a fraction of a second made the difference I would reevaluate my driving and task management habits.
