You will crash.

Let InnoDb do its thing. It will cache what it needs of ibdata1 in the buffer_pool. Free spots in ibdata1 won't be cached. Inactive blocks won't need to be cached. Etc.

Sure, it would be nice if you had enough RAM for a buffer pool big enough for all your data (and indexes). But if you don't, ibdata1 will grow, and the buffer pool caching will hide (mostly) that fact that it is not big enough.
