Welcome aboard. Enjoy the ride.
We look forward to seeing more posts and samples of your work.
Since I am not into time lapse, I will allow someone who is to answer your question.

Howdy and welcome to Nikonites!!!
I agree, it sounds like a great idea to keep the mirror up, but I don't think that the camera behaves that way. Like Brent, I'm not a big user in time lapse photography, so can't say with 100% certainty, but I'm sure someone here will know.

I'm unclear what it is the OP wants to do, exactly, but are we talking about using Mirror Lock-up Mode?

As I understood the OP, it would be similar to Mirror Lock-up Mode by basically having the mirror left up between the individual time lapse images. I've used MUP for individual images, just not sure how it would behave on a programmed exposure like timelapse or exposure bracketing.

I'm no time lapse-expert but assuming it's even possible, which I doubt, using MLU like that would drain your battery faster than...
*wait for it*

Using a mirrorless camera.
