A properly built man basket to mount in place of the bucket would certainly work.
OSHA has rules for using material handling equipment to support people, basically properly built with railings, toe boards and attached to the machine securely, and you de-rate the capacity of the machine 50%.
So if your BH is rated for 3,000# out at full extension (my machine, lookup your specs), then you have 1,500# capacity. If you are replacing the bucket you can subtract that weight from your man basket weight.
At any rate you should have plenty of capacity for a single person. As noted, make sure your hoses are in good condition lets you come down rather quickly.
I haven't done anything with the BH side on my BH, but routinely just stand in the loader bucket with safety harness clipped on and wife driving. Rated 8,200# at full height, doesn't even wiggle with me and a chainsaw and gives 15'+ platform height so 21'+ easy reach with chainsaw, a whole lot more with a pole saw.
