I think it's a very bad idea to put a fender line over a lifeline or

Neither is designed for the potential loads. Cost: new lifelines or

Not owning a boat, and all those I've sailed with having all tied
fenders to life-lines, I have to ask: to where should one tie a fender
if not the life-lines?

Toe rails, cleats amidships. Unless you have break-away fasteners on the
bitter end of the fender line.
