I'm not sure I agree with your conception of tulpamancy, but I understand your fear about it, especially if you're implying you already have some genuine schizotypal/delusional tendencies (those are the only contraindications, if you ask me). But let me assure you, tulpamancy isn't at all incompatible with reality or truth as your highest value. In fact I'd say it works best if you approach it that way - when you stop valuing reality and groundedness, that's when tulpamancy and anything else starts to become unhealthy and dangerous. Only reality contains real love - with tulpamancy, you're forced to deal with the reality of your mental landscape, and that's probably what scared you.
Mainly, the hallucination part is vastly overstated. It's a completely separate skill from tulpamancy, and nothing about tulpamancy makes you more prone to hallucination. At best, it makes the practice for intensive visualization more fun, because you can do it with your wife as the subject.
In short, the mind is basically chaotic and energetic. The conscious part of the mind, the ego, sterilizes most of this chaos in order form an organized, comprehensible system of thought. The edges of awareness are filled with the product of this basic energetic chaos trying to move into the relative vacuum of conscious ego - that's why stuff is constantly popping up and moving on its own when you meditate, when you dream, or practice really creative activity. As you know from intrusive thoughts, nightmares, and even emotions, this chaotic energetic flow can be scary, painful, or dangerous if not regulated. (hint: we regulate it by saying "that doesn't make sense" and ignoring it, instead of treating it as meaningful - you have plenty of practice doing this, everybody does.)
With a tulpa, most people are seeking some level of automaticity to start with, and so we naturally learn how to open the door and invite a little bit of that dynamic unconscious energy into our imaginary companion. That makes them active and interesting and surprising; but if you don't regulate that, you could get more chaos than you are comfortable with. That's the only risk factor, and it's something you have complete control over. This isn't disconnection from reality, it's just reckoning with a part of reality - your mind - that most people don't ever really look at. I've spoken a lot more about tulpas recently in

That's a truly insane idea, I don't think it holds much promise; but at least it's not as insane as the occult kind of homonculous, or pinning your hopes on a fantasy of life after death. Even in the most optimistic realistic scenario, it couldn't be better than a tulpa if you ask me. But someday, some madlad is gonna do it, so it might as well be you - a biomare would be the perfect child for you and your tulpa wife, once you figure it out in an illegal sapient bioform lab 60 years from now :^)
