Butter poaching and butter basting are a common cooking and a common finishing technique. This splits the difference, but will be closer to butter basting.
It isn’t necessarily a bad idea. There are much more efficient ways to do it, but the result will likely be delicious.

They literally answer the question in the video you posted. More butter = self basting, better tasting smoked chicken

At least he left a tray of potato wedges underneath to catch all the butter.

As you watch the video, it kind of answers your question. He is a great YouTuber and explains himself very thoroughly. Guga Foods.

At some point I was starting to wonder whether that stuff actually gets cooked at some point, or I’m just watching some guy shove obscene amounts of butter under chicken skin again and again…
