That needs to be tested out if it works with your looping style. For
me this crashes Ableton too often to be taken on stage. The reason is
that I use the looper to change tempo often and sometimes in big steps
to go double, triple and half speed. If you loop mostly by keeping the
looper at the same tempo Live may not have a problem to follow without
crashing. But you would still have a problem now and then with Live's
way of smoothing the tempo: if you are unlucky live interprets your
looper's tempo of 79,7 BPM as 80 BPM and if you then are running long
loops you may suffer drastic "bumps".
