We have read only Plone's in production and this works fine.
Please enumerate the problems on a plone ticket, dev.plone.org
(mention your py, zope, plone versions).

It would be much safer to fix Zope/Plone application than to monkey
around with silently working around the readonly aspects of the
database. especially since you are already putting the database
into a readonly mode.

again, we are doing this fine in production.  so it must be something
in your application causing writes.
