Very interesting idea! I quite like the concept, but I think smart thieves will know to get the stolen phone in to a Faraday bag ASAP and get the SIM chip out of it so that it won't be connected to the network. I think it's more likely to catch the secondary purchaser rather than the thief, but it might lead to more thieves being caught and diminish the market for stolen iPhones.

Myself, I use a six digit passcode to unlock mine. I only use the fingerprint reader to authenticate some purchases, like Apple Books or Amazon.
