Using DSB modulation to Tx a FT8 signal means that you will end up transmitting a second FT8 signal a few KHz away from your intended one.
From what I understand, this will have legal issues also with FCC, it will not be characterized as a 'spurious' but it will certainly be characterized as a 'Out of Band' (OoB) whereas a different method of what is legal or not applies than in the case of spurious, but will definitively be IMHO falling into the non-legal.
Of course based on IARU's determination of what signals should be used in the digital segments, it is obvious that this is not allowed as all digimodes are mainly narrowband.
