Hey I engage in all sorts of bullshit risky DIY shenanigans but... the only answer anyone can really give you is "no, it's not safe".
In this particular case though I'd give you a "hard no, do not attempt".
IDK what your cistern is like but generally the fixtures just arent going to support an additional 60 to 100kg.
As a bonus, if it goes then it will shatter on the floor and you'll come down on top of all those wicked sharp edges. Fuck that.
Kinda curious why you have to reach the ceiling there, but... find another way, like a longer tool or whatever.
