It would work, to a degree. But for the majority of the Sun’s mass to escape from us with the nearly light speed, it wouldn’t. The small pieces should be very close to the speed of light and thus very heavy for an observer here on Earth. That would mean an even bigger gravitational pull toward the ex-Sun, for a while.
