I wouldn't make the switch, but some discussion follows. Looks like the drag race type "Line Lock" is not good for a parking brake, and would not work at all for an e brake.

Electric ones are usually rated for one minute only. Manual ones will hang up on you. While most states require a manual emergency brake, do what you want. Get a couple bricks for wheel chocks.

Back in the late 90's the wreckers I used to drive had a Mico brake locks Lever Lock - Mico® Brake Locks | AW Direct
in them to use while winching. One of the rollbacks I used to drive the parking brake was useless from too many drivers forgetting to release it before driving away so I used to use the Mico lock. The towing manager lived on a hill and I was at his house one night in that flatbed and I parked on the street. About an hour later the neighbor down the street was knocking on his door asking us to retrieve our truck from his front lawn, I had forgotten to also leave it in gear.
