[EDH / Commander] Can I do this combo?

Can I do this combo?

The other day I was playing a casual EDH match and realized I had a combo I've never thought about, Pili-Pala + Grand Architect + Breya, Etherium Shaper, but I didn't have a sac outlet to cast Breya an infinite amount of times, creating infinite thopters, so I thought I could use Breya's ability to sac herself and a thopter, and do that over and over again, having infinite mana and infinite thopters while doing infinite damage, but a friend pointed out I couldn't because when I sacrificed Breya to herself and recasted her, she would have summoning sickness. I think she is right but could you tell me what is the rule for this situation?

Summoning sickness wouldn't apply here because the ability that allows her to sacrifice herself doesn't require her to tap.

summoning sickness doesn't disturb this trick because the actual 'tap' symbol isn't there. Just compare it to crewing a vehicle, you can do that the turn you have any creature enter play as well, since the 'tap' symbol isn't there. Kill 'em!
