Another possible option is to cut a hybrid down to about 36" I have
considered this as I find the long shaft cumbersome when I grip way
down.

A putter can't have more than 10 degrees of loft - that is a pretty
strong 4 iron.

Will is still work good in a full swing with that short length?

Yes. Additionally, beware that a double-faced chipper is also
illegal.

My son struggled chipping & did well w/ his chipper (b4 he quit
playing). I used to tease him. It took me 2 yrs to figure out 1
thing.....throw out that lob wedge or lofted club you got & hit just
about every approach shot w/ your 7 iron. It's not pretty... I
resisted. I shot a 95 the other day (yea I still suck) but I'm not
wasting shots w/ my lob or pitching wedge anymore trying to hit that
"perfect shot".
