if you don’t want to stop then yes unless it is very high temperature silicon grease,otherwise during heavy braking the heat build up will cause it to drip and it could get on your brake pads or discs. why take a chance ? generations have used copperslip its cheap, does the job and despite comments to the contrary doesnt cause discernable wear on parts that move little ,relative to each other (note I don’t say rotating parts )
oh FYI

“RED Rubber Grease with Teflon” is a High Tech specially formulated extreme temperature grease with good dampening and adhesion properties as well as superior water resistance. Specially formulated for hydraulic braking systems to allow free movement of the seals, ease of piston assembly, and to prevent water ingress.
This Red Grease with Teflon is based on refined mineral oils, Lithium soap, anti-friction solid lubricants as well as corrosion and oxidation inhibitors.
Red grease is is almost neutral towards many plastics and elastomers.
APPLICATION: Suitable for all types of motorcycle applications, bearings, forks, calipers, chains, Etc.
High performance specially formulated red grease with Teflon® for on and off road requirements.
- Teflon® based high lubricity and low friction
- Longer lasting than most other greases
- Suitable for use on suspension & braking systems
* Surface temperature from -30° to +130°C
An anti-seize compound and a lubricant perform entirely different functions although many anti-seize products have lubricating properties, especially at higher temperatures. In environmentally adverse conditions such as high humidity and salinity, extreme pressure, acidic atmospheres or excessive temperatures, metals can fuse or weld together. The chief culprit is corrosion, particularly in marine surroundings. Molyslip anti-seize products are designed to provide an insulating layer between metals so that dismantling and routine maintenance are free from breakage of fused parts. This problem is especially onerous on threads and shackles. A single application of Copaslip (often misspelled as copperslip or coppaslip) or Alumslip will stop metal fusion for many years.
Copaslip®
Copaslip® (often misspelled as copperslip or coppaslip) - the original anti-seize compound. Available in leaded or lead-free versions.
It is a very high temperature (up to 1100°C) anti-seize assembly compound, bentone based non-melt grease with copper, pure lead paste or polybutene, and anti-corrosion additives.

…prevents squealing on disc brake pads, allows for trouble-free dismantling of chassis mountings, cylinder heads, inlet and exhaust fittings etc.
your choice ,but how hot do your calipers get ?
