Pretty much. I've converted a couple old/broken MTBs into FG/SS and I like them. You save a little weight vs. geared but on a bike like that I don't think it would make too much of a difference.
The trick is to pick a somewhat low gear which will allow you to spin up to speed quickly. It will limit your top speed, but how fast can you go on a MTB to begin with?
