Depends upon where/how it broke. At a minimum, the filter won't do its job. It just gets uglier from there. i wouldn't unless it was a one-time emergency situation.

I was thinking about just a piece of pipe with the right theads or maybe brass fitting that would screw into there with a piece soldered on it

That might work. I suspect you don't need the valve. I'd make the fuel holes close to the same height as the original. You'll have to match the OD of the original, at least down to where the filter sits when installed.
