Why do you want to mix that? The result can't be coherent.
Kabbalah's (and I guess GURPS Cabal's) cosmos emanates directly from the absolute (the Godhead, Ain Sof . . .) splitting the different states of the being (worlds or cosmic regions) along The Great Chain of the Being, from upwards to downwards. It is an absolute cosmos, not having any room for the innumerable relativities of an infinite worlds approach.

I just wanted to get an idea from other more experienced GMs about all of this. Will this work?

Not for me.

It is
possible.
Kabbalah's cosmology is the traditional one of
Worlds Within Worlds, lacking of relation with science fiction and its many worlds hypotesis. These are two mutually exclusive takes. Indeed, the modern day sci fi
parallel worlds is a sort of substitutive horizontal "cosmology" regarding the earlier vertical
Worlds Within Worlds one: one is the denial of the other.
