The only issue you may run into dry pigging the beer is the oils from the meat killing head retention. Maybe consider making a bacon extract.

So put cooked pieces of bacon with some vodka? Let sit for a week? And throw all of it in like with caoca nibs?

Yep, that's what I did when I made a Bacon stout, it worked well.

Also, you'll want to give the extract a day in the freezer before you add it. That way the fat/grease will solidify at the top and will be easy to scoop off or filter out.
