It would only affect insert mode, and invert the functionality of the caps lock key. ie. normally type in capitals, but can be disabled (turn the caps lock light on) for typing string literals in normal case.

I have a sort of similar case: often, completion gives me a word with
first letter capitalized, while I need all lower-case (e.g. for a
variable). I have an insert-mode mapping that lowercases first letter of
that word and returns to insert mode:
inoremap <m-0> <esc>b~ea
You can use for example gUe command to uppercase to the end of a word.
That way you only need a single keystroke per word, which I think is
better and easier than switch to upper, type, then switch back. You also
won't have a problem with forgetting that you're in uppercase and typing
something that should be lowercase. -ak
