I tried that, too, some years ago. The bigger problem, as far as I recall, are the extremely stringent clock jitter requirements at this input. There's no on-board PLL anymore, but it was directly the sampling clock of the ADC, right? In any case, at least as I recall, I didn't manage to get a spec compliant GSM signal out of the LineSDR-mini with that approach using the clocks I had at my disposal at the time. But in any case, that jitter / phase noise is mostly a conformance related topic and the signal definitely would be good enough to be properly decoded by commercial UE, particularly in a lab setup with otherwise near ideal conditions.
