Not correct. The switch you are talking about is different.
The cultch pedal activates two switches. The one you are talking about that looks exactly as the brake switch, and another one to interrupt the starter.

I'd rather just reach into the car, turn the key and start the engine. (I know the purpose of the switch and why it's there (forced safety) and I always park with the transaxle in neutral so starting in gear isn't an issue.

Has anyone permanently disabled the switch by affixing both wires together without any other issues popping up?

Hi Larry.
You can do that with no issues at all.
The wires are connected to the switch via spade connectors.
Just pull them from the switch and connected them to each other.
I drove my car like that for over a week (until a got a new switch to replace a faulty one) with no issue at all.
