Yet it would be pointless and yes it would get boring. Pointless it can get away with easily enough, but boring, never.
In GTA and even NFS open world games, players would sometimes play by the npc traffic rules. It’s fun and different, in small amounts. But making a whole game about it? Rockstar’s betting on Roblox style development for GTA6. Which means someone’s bound to make a mod for that game doing exactly what you want, but with the foundation already built. It’s an uneven competition.
So to succeed, this kind of game has to have its own shtick. To make it not boring. A way of showing off perhaps? Reactions to activities, which reflect a form of growth or change.

The appeal is the cars. Like this kind of game is more for train simulator people than GTA types.
Buying new car costs insurance which is determined by length of gameplay without accidents.
In depth paint / decal system
In depth engine / body mod system
Replica open world with real life landmarks and achievments for visiting them all
In game events like group cruises, car shows, drag racing etc

All good and interesting ideas, the implementation though looks like a headache.
