Would it work? Any experience with it? According to Sheldon it should but it could lead to suboptimal shifting.

Are you going to resize the chain at all or leave it as is? If you leave it as is, yeah you're going to have suboptimal shifting.

I'd size it appropriately for the bike. The shifting concern is whether the lesser external width would cause issues as it tries to climb the cassette sprockets.
