If you want the more common name of this maneuvre, it is called a "snap roll"
It is hard to execute at all well in most planes with leading edge slots or slats (Bf109, many Soviet planes, Fieseler 156) as it relies on stalling one wing, and slots/slats are intended to reduce the likelihood of stalling...
In real life, it was used by some WWII pilots, but in most planes - especially anything with a big engine - you would be at some risk of warping or breaking the engine mounts.
In IL-2, I don't think airframe stresses are modelled precisely. It is (relatively) safe in-game except for the fact it reduces your speed (and Speed, as we all should know, is Life).
The in-game FW190 does a very snappy snap roll!
