You can treat it like ketchup or any other hot sauce if you want which I never put in the refrigerator.
I even keep a bottle in my truck.
I can assure you it is far more acidic than need be.
The ferment alone does that.
Fermented sauerkraut is around a pH of 3.
This gives me an idea of fermented salsa.

The National Center for Home Food Preservation recommends canning sauerkraut too. And Salsas have a big write up page, no fermented salsa has been tested.

" Fully fermented kraut may be kept tightly covered in the refrigerator for several months or it may be canned as follows:
Hot pack – Bring kraut and liquid slowly to a boil in a large kettle, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and fill jars rather firmly with kraut and juices, leaving 1/2-inch headspace.
Raw pack – Fill jars firmly with kraut and cover with juices, leaving 1/2-inch headspace."

"We only recommend recipes and procedures we know to be safe, and encourage consumers to use tested, science-based home-canning recipes from reliable sources like our website or some equipment or home preserving ingredient manufacturers. Our recommended home canning recipes for salsa, as well as a discussion of how ingredients impact safety, are collected in this publication:

In other words, it isn't safe to do what you've suggested.
