Installing the switch as you propose would be OK in my opinion as long as the cable run from the battery was in good condition and well protected & supported in any areas where it could be damaged. As O_D mentioned above, some do mount the switch at the starter in the hot lead. I think the main issue of placing the switch in the hot lead arises when the cut off switch is mounted at the battery or other points and no provision is made to ensure there is no possible way vibration or carelessness wouldn't allow a short to the closest metal object.
