Would Bridge work to create a catalog of images for a specific project?

I'm working on a new project where I want to pull images from my archives. I'm not pulling all images into this catalog, but only a selection, which I'll then want to sort, select and sequence. I use Capture One sessions to organize and process my files, for a number of reason, though when I go past 8 years ago, those images are organized in jobs and are in Lightroom catalogs as that was what I was using before switching to Capture One.

Image files are on external hard drive arrays. I use G-Tech G-RAID drives, 16 and 24TB volumes, organized as JBOD, not RAID, connected via Thunderbolt.

A lot of the sessions are commercial projects, so I will not be including them in this particular collection of images, which is, for want of a better description, a fine art project. So I'll be picking particular folders of images to add to this "catalog" and ignoring others.

Number of images: Possibly more than 100K but definitely less than 200K. 

I would like to keep my folder structure intact, referencing the image files, not moving them.

Image adjustments? : I have two intents here. First is to pull images that could be part of this project from all the various session folders so that I can start seeing which images may fit into this project and then arrange and sort them. At some stage I will start making work prints, but a lot of the preliminary selecting will be done digitally. I would definitely want to be able to make some adjustments to the files (RAW processing) that are then reflected in the catalog. This may be where the rubber hits the road, being able to see the adjsutments I make in C1 in Bridge. 

Metadata: Minimal. Basic copyright and rights management and a basic headline or description, but my metadata practice is generally minimal.

Looking for any advise, tips or best practices, issues etc that others have encountered when doing something like this and if Bridge would be a good solution or if I should look at other solutions. The Capture One catalog, which would be an obvious first option, is not great at working with large numbers of images. Adobe is generally much more robust when working with large numbers of images.

Thanks!`
