Probably, I don't see how that's any different than a normal setup with a claw type derailleur as long as you have the plate or some sort of mechanism that prevents the R.D from rotation along where it clamps.

Using a used chain can be worse than pushing your bike. New chain and - unless nice, shiny, and new- the old cassette is a fool's errand. They skip and put themselves where you need a screwdriver to retrieve on the road.
Please take the time to learn these things before you haphazardly start working on your bike. I'm very glad you are here and asking questions!

I have built my share of wild bikes from parts found and scavenged. And will again. The difference between us is: My intent from finish-to-start and so forth is to have them work properly. I give you fair advice. You attack.
Best of luck in future endeavors. I, for one, will never lift a finger to help you again.

Safe, yes, but taking the wheel off and putting it on will be a chore and a half.
