There is a workaround for this at the moment. See here

Unfortunately that work around makes your private channel vulnerable to others joining, as anyone in your org can get in via the link generated if they are provided it.
- Absolutely, hence it is a workaround. I wouldn't choose to do it personally but the question was can you? And the answer is yes. Not all private channels have confidential information, and not all are used to lock others out. It is an informed choice, so a reason not to do so is, as you say, you are exposing it.
The native functionality doesn't have a timeframe so it's either that or using a public channel, or a different team to do so
