That doesn't seem like a great idea to me. You're signaling to let other drivers know you're intending to do something so they can be ready to react if needed. You could miss a car in your blindspot even after checking and only signaling right before you start changing lanes wouldn't give that car much warning.

Obviously signaling doesn't magically give you the right of way to merge, but IMO it's better to let others know you're doing something as soon as possible

Exactly this. Indicate to communicate with others.

If you indicate in advance of your manoeuvre, it gives others time to react by reducing (or increasing) their speed to make room for you instead of always having to slam their brakes in order to avoid a collision.

Indicating is much safer, fuel efficient and way less frustrating for everybody, even pedestrians.
