I like to tinker, but that is not one mod I am interested in trying. For a number of reasons on top of some already stated:
The nylon is not going to stand up to sparks half as well as canvas tents. I think you will have a fair number of holes after awhile, even with a spark arrestor.
I doubt the nylon and rubberized lining will like the amount of radiant heat that those stoves can put off either. With the clearance you will be needing (or at least ought to have), it will take up most if not all of one side of the tent.
Then there is the problem of the stove jack that you will need to put on the tent, and questions if your tent can fold up without removing the jack,etc.
Gotta allow plenty of time for the unit to cool down to grab it to load it into your sled.
And unless you only go to areas where you can drive right to the water's edge, it sounds like a major pain to drag back up the hill to your vehicle.
The one tent stove I have dealt with (elk hunting in a canvas wall tent) was a heavy and dirty beast even though small. Plan on getting ashes or soot on stuff, even if you are careful.
