Interesting idea- - - -except that the condenser charges and discharges repeatedly- - - -20 or more times- - - -while the points are in the process of opening and closing. Each cycle has a slightly lower voltage peak due to circuit resistance, and by the time the points close again, there is no high voltage left in the primary winding to cause a "points close" arc which would be just as destructive as the one that can happen on "points open" without the condenser in place.
