Looking goofy for a 20 hour drive or beating yourself for forever for severe rock chips all over your front bumper, the choice is yours.
FYI, when we had the socal SLO meet, I drove to SLO and up to NorCal and when I got home and cleaned up my bumper, it looked like someone ran light sandpaper across the front bumper. I would have taped it to hell if I knew that was going to happen to prevent that any day.

...so along the way if any of you guys see me on the road just flash your lights.....hahahahah

As an alternative, consider using a clear protective shield that Griot's Garage sells by the foot: Griot's Shield

You are liable to have a car photographer take pictures of it thinking it is a new model in disguise.LOL
The only thing I would really worry about would be how the tape is resistant to uv and heat. Some of these tapes are sensitive and become fused to the paint. I have no idea how this tape would react but I think a few phone calls to 3M could be a good idea.
I remember the older tapes that would actually harden on window glass while painting and the tape removal was worse that the paint.
