Would this be acceptable?
At the moment, I am creating a chord progression in the key of F. Could I begin this progression with a different chord instead of the tonic chord?
I had in mind IV (Bb major) / I (Fmaj7) / IV (Bb major) / I (Fmaj7).

This is absolutely fine. If it sounds good, it is good! All I would say, is that this progression, by itself, will sound like you're in Bb major. In Bb major, this progression will be I-V-I-V.
To reinforce you're in F major, you might want to consider using a C major chord at some point.
Good luck!

Of course you can! I would recommend possibly inverting the first chord to first inversion if you're worried about losing the tonal center. But absolutely--you're really not breaking any rules.
Besides, all of the rules have been thrown out the window, anyways.
