What saves you is the wide color response of the top ("blue") plane.

However, the sensitivity as you head toward red drops quite a bit.
So yes, you can do it, but I suspect that effective Quantum Efficiency (QE), especially for red, is pretty low compare to a sensor that has had the Color Filter Array (CFA) removed.

BTW do you know how to model spectral response of sensor with arbitrary number of layers and thicknesses, and for different angle of incidence?
