That's what I'm running, and it's smooth and quiet. You can perfect the chainline with the spacers, and a tweaked out derailer works fine as a tensioner. Just put in the set screws so that is stays in one place side to side.

EDIT: If you are running two in the back, you might run into some trouble. Might have to change the position of the screws when you choose the other gear, or run a simple friction shifter, and cable to it to keet it tensioned where you want it for that gear. I know I know, "SHIFTER?".
