I have read that a stitch & glue boat can be built using body filler to hold the joints together. Can I do this instead of using glass tape and resin?

Don’t do this!! Polyester auto body filler does not have the strength, flexibility nor holding power to do the job. You can use it as a filleting material to smooth the inside surface of the joint before applying the glass tape but it must have the glass tape to reinforce it.
