Alternatively, buy a right angle bracket bracket from the hardware store
and mount it to the tripod base and camera in vertical orientation.
Then just rotate the tripod head.
If your pano shots are at even a modest distance you won't need to
rotate the lens on it's "no parallax" point because the angular error is
so small. You'll only need the tripod if you're taking long exposures.

If you must, why not. A ball head like that is poor for panoramas. As
soon as you loosen the head, it can wiggle or flop, not just rotate. The
tripod itself could help. Lock the head horizontally leveled, loosen the
head extension, leave it at minimum extension, and rotate the camera for
subsequent shots.
But it really isn't necessary for daylight shots.
