Can we limit the current output of current booster circuit using a single resistor?

Hi, we are building hight current boosters using the reference design of AN18 Figure 2. LT1010 Based Output Stage.

Figure 2 of AN18

In this design we are replacing LT1056 with LT6018 using exactly the same topology (is it OK?) and the current are boost to 8A by replacing MJE with MJH6284.

Though, we would like to delive the product for different drivers. The maximum allowable RMS current ranging from 3A to 8A, can we limit the output current in this reference design with a single resistor? So that we can add a series of jumpers to our products.

Best regards.
