A few caveats if you decide to try this:
1. Make sure the blend pot is an M/N type. Otherwise you won't have full volume when it's set for both pickups.
2.The additional path to ground will slightly decrease the "brightness" of the pickups which might be a problem since you already find the neck pup too dark. (There is a way to "unground" the Blend. I can look it up if you want.)

Since the blend functionally handles the 3-way switching, I will unwire it for pickup selection, but leave it in place to add more tonal options. One will definitely be a 'woman tone' cap, since that's the only tone I really would touch the tone knob anyway.
