I haven't played with the plastics that these gadgets are made of, but I'm fairly sanguine that they can hold up to solvents like OMS, though maybe not to stronger ones. If the rear wheel is replaced with a chain pulley, the mess involved with these gadgets can be kept reasonable. It will require a number of solvent changes with the gadget drained into the storage jar and fresh solvent added, until it stays clean --- probably 3-5 rinses needed.

Understand, that I'm not a fan of these gadgets, just saying that I think they can be used with OMS in lieu of water based stuff.
