On the other hand, with the connection you suggested by taking the signal from the effects loop output i still would have to connect an impedance to the speaker output in order to not damage the amplifier, right?
By using the fx loop, you're missing almost half the character of the amp as the power section is also important for tone. I tried this with my combo amp, its ok but not really good either actually thinking about buying a pedal type amp for recording stuff...
But my amp isn't tube, I've been in an unsettled argument where is tube amps might be damaged cause of using fx loop (the power section of the amp still works and not using it to power the speaker might cause overheat and damage it...or not) so I also can't advise this till I confirm from someone I can fully trust.
But as others said, its really worth investing on a tool to convert the speaker out to line level. I know someone whose really happy with this approach, he opens a cab. sim. on computer and shares a blues jam sometimes 3 times a week
if you're thinking live then yeah get one with a speaker emulator.
Your amp seems pretty cool so by investing on the better stuff I'm sure you'll enjoy more .
