Canbus systems and LEDs can be funny things. Either the LEDs (with cancellers to stop bulb failure warnings) will work fine, or they'll still report bulb failure messages.
You might even experience LED flicker when the system checks for bulb failure. Now this might occur all the time, or only when the bulbs are switched off, or when you unlock or lock the doors.
As for taping over the warning bulb on the dash, unless you have an incredibly thick MOT tester, he'll spot it and subsequently your car will fail the MOT because you have a fault warning light displayed.
The only thing to do is to fit the LEDs and see what happens.
ps, and btw, some LEDs do get hot, or more precisely the load resistors get hot. Hot enough to melt the bulb holders and in some cases the reflective lenses. You pays your money and takes your chance. Some LEDs for vehicles are better than others.
