You're not pushing the assembly lube into the bearings, you're pushing it out of the bearings. Of course you would never use an assembly lube that won't dissolve in engine oil, and there appear to be plenty of engine assembly greases that fit this bill. Redline, Torco, etc.
For something that's not pressure fed, like rocker shafts or wristpins: yeah, i would probably still use a liquid lube.
If this were a V8 and we weren't flipping the motor over to work on it, the drips might not be an issue.
