Should work fine, up to a point, but...

Your sendmail config may limit the number of Bcc: in one email.

If any ONE of the email addresses is mal-formed, things can go very
wrong, very fast, and it gets really hard to figure out who did or
didn't get the email sent to them.

Recipients and spam filters may flag the Bcc: as a higher probability
of spam.

So depending on how many emails you have to send, and how many Bcc:s
you have and what resources you have available, you may need to tweak
this plan after you do some testing...  Or you may end up just sending
out individual emails instead of using Bcc:
