I have decided to use teflon tape to wrap 3/4 of the threaded area and
leave the rest to have solid contact.


I think you would find that even if you put the teflon tape all the way down
you would still have significant metal to metal contact, assuming you don't use
too much tape. Most homeowners overdo the tape.
Teflon tape is a lubricant, not a sealant.


Not hardly. Teflon tape is used on gas valves on high pressure cylinders.
