H-Alpha Filters with Stock Cameras

I am currently a Nikon Z user and have been interested in modifying my camera to increase the deep-red response for nightscapes. It is a nervous transition because my cameras are expensive and the re-selling cohort significantly shrinks.

While modded cameras can take advantage of narrowband filters to cut light pollution, any thoughts on the impact of h-alpha filters on stock cameras as an alternative? While I am conscious the response will be significantly smaller compared to a modded camera, would multiple 3-4 minute photos stacked from a stock camera using a h-alpha filter at least increase the transmission enough for better photos then without the filter?

Would be keen to hear your thoughts and experiences.
