I'd allow it, at my table.
Using the flat of your blade is a valid tactic for blunting blows, be it against undead or to incapacitate a target.
But I'd also give you a slight disadvantage, as you're now going to be fighting your blade becoming a fan.
I'd also decrease the damage a bit if actually used as a bludgeoning weapon.
Yeah, that'd be fair, and it's how I normally treat using the shaft of a pole weapon as staff.
Unless it's a Monk. Damn them, and their versatility!
