I always do this. I straighten and balance the rims before I mount tires and tubes.
However, it doesn’t take much weight. Usually just running the welder a couple of inches in a line at most added the necessary weight. Another pass if it’s not enough. I’d never weld anything the the rim, just run beads of weld to get the weight. It should only take grams or an ounce to balance the rim.
