For initial deployment, this can seem attractive, but remember that one
of the benefits an ROA gives is specifying the maximum prefix length.
This means that someone can't hijack a /23 with a /24.

they can if they forge the source ASN.  RPKI helps against misconfigs rather
than intentional hijackings.


Only if you specify a a minlen of /23 and a maxlen of /24 and you only
announce a /23. Which you should not.
