Ovewriting wc_create_new_customer WooCommerce function to allow subscrtiption purchases from guests

In WooCommerce, I need to allow people to checkout without having to register for an account when they buy subscriptions. In Accounts & Privacy in WooCommerce admin section, I have only one option: Enable guest checkout (recommended).

I would like to overwrite wc_create_new_customer() function code from WooCommerce plugin, located in includes/wc-user-functions.php PHP file, with the following:

function wc_create_new_customer( $email, $username = '', $password = '', $args = array() ) {
    if ( empty( $email ) || ! is_email( $email ) ) {
        return new WP_Error( 'registration-error-invalid-email', __( 'Please provide a valid email address.', 'woocommerce' ) );
    }

    if ( email_exists( $email ) ) {
        return new WP_Error( 'registration-error-email-exists', apply_filters( 'woocommerce_registration_error_email_exists', __( 'An account is already registered with your email address. <a href="#" class="showlogin">Please log in.</a>', 'woocommerce' ), $email ) );
    }

    return false;
}

But It seems WooCommerce won't allow overwriting wc_create_new_customer() function.

Is it possible to overwrite that function used on checkout?

The only way is to directly modify the wc_create_new_customer function and block updates for wc to avoid overwriting of the file
