Could First World War sabot rounds rival the Paris Gun?

Could Germany have used sabot rounds as an alternative to the Paris Gun, and what would the consequences have been?

The basic mechanism was feasible, but poor separation control, extreme dispersion, and reduced payload would have made it an inaccurate and weak alternative.

A sabot or sub-calibre shell was technically feasible in the First World War, but unreliable separation and limited aerodynamic knowledge would have made its dispersion severe and unpredictable. A smaller projectile would also sacrifice explosive payload, while period guns could not simply turn it into a modern hypervelocity kinetic weapon. Modern guided shells solve part of the dispersion problem through technology unavailable to wartime designers. Extreme range alone would not have made the idea a useful substitute for the Paris Gun.
