Probably not. I wouldn't try it.
One one of my 1x9 bikes, I run an MRP 1.x chain guide. On the other I run a bash guard on the outside, and an N-Gear Jumpstop on the inside. I have tried numerous times to avoid the need for a guide, but in the end I've always found that I need something to hold the chain in place.
