Double sided tape...an interesting idea. The new tape versions indeed are stronger than in the past. The only real answer to the question lies in an experiment or two. Find a block of wood...curve one end like a blunt bow ship...apply some planking and see if it holds over time. My concern would be how well such tape would hold down planks with sharp bends as in many blunt end bows. Would the tape hold or would the plank lift? If you experiment let us know what you discover.
