I've made switches like that on other cars but the shift pattern was forward.

I'm sure it can be done but it takes some thought and fabrication

The built in neutral start switch posted above is a good solution
With the switches I posted a picture of, I was thinking of mounting it between the pan & shifter lever, letting the inside face of the arm touch the roller on the switch lever. In this arrangement, it would only contact in low gear & wouldn't affect the lever's range of motion either direction.

I just have a push button on the back of my Cheetah shifter & the shifter contacts it in low gear (forward pattern), activating the brake pressure switch.
